Inclined Plane with Force Mechanism
Model Number: MTM-107
The Inclined Plane with Force Mechanism from Micro Technologies is designed for experiments involving force and acceleration. The MT-10580 features a 1.2 m long aluminium track, permanently mounted spring force mechanism with multi-position trigger, three steel balls and two irregular-shaped wooden blocks for investigating acceleration, speed and distance under variable applied force.
Product Specification
The Inclined Plane with Force Mechanism from Micro Technologies is a mechanics laboratory apparatus specially designed for practical experiments involving the relationship between force, acceleration, speed, distance and motion.
The MT-10580 incorporates an approximately 1.2 metre long aluminium track that provides an extended path for observing and measuring the motion of test objects.
A specially designed spring-based force mechanism is permanently mounted at one end of the track. The mechanism can apply force to a test object and launch it along the track under controlled experimental conditions.
The spring mechanism incorporates a multi-position trigger, enabling different levels of spring compression and therefore different applied-force conditions to be selected. This allows users to compare how variation in applied force influences the resulting acceleration and motion of an object.
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion:
F = ma
where F represents net force,m is the mass of the moving object and a is its acceleration.
For a given mass, increasing the applied net force generally produces greater acceleration. By changing the spring setting and observing the resulting motion, the apparatus provides a practical method for investigating this relationship.
Users can also determine or compare acceleration, speed and distance attained under variable force conditions. Suitable timing and distance measurements can be incorporated into the experiment depending on the required procedure.
The track is mounted on a three-plastic-feet support arrangement, providing stable positioning during experiments.
The apparatus is supplied with five steel balls and two irregular-shaped wooden blocks, expanding the range of force and motion investigations that can be performed. Different objects can be compared to observe how mass, shape and rolling or sliding behaviour influence their response to an applied force.
This apparatus is particularly useful for investigations involving Newton's laws of motion, force versus acceleration, variable-force launching, linear motion, velocity and displacement.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Inclined Plane with Force Mechanism provides a versatile platform for physics, mechanics and dynamics laboratories requiring repeatable force-and-motion experiments.
