Vu Timing Ramp Set

This exciting addition to the Vu data logger gives a low cost complete solution to allow students to study time, speed and the effect of friction. 

 
36 seconds - Vu Timing ramp - measuring time, speed & velocity

For use with Vu & Vu+. The logger LCD screen and the PC can show time and speed results.

The whole class can be involved in active and engaging practical experiments.

This set has:

• A 1 m high simple adjustable ramp with four height adjustment positions
• Four slope surfaces with different levels of friction.
• A car that has space for weights (not supplied).
• 2 magnet proximity switches which fit into two holes in the ramp and will connect to a Vu or Vu+ data logger
• A magnet which is attached to the underside of the cart using the sticky pads supplied.

The Switches will detect the magnet / car as it travels down the ramp. This change can be used to record:

• The Time the car took to travel from switch A to B
• Its Speed between A and B (by entering the distance from switch A to switch B)
• Acceleration between A and B (by entering the length of the magnet)

Each switch has a lead approximately 90 cm long with a plug at one end and the magnetic proximity switch at the other end.
