The physics class is studying forces and opposing forces. In this lab, they are determining the affects of friction forces produced by different materials (cork and carpet) and how they affect acceleration of a cart. They are using our GLX units that allow them to connect force sensors to measure even the tiniest of forces that occur and displays them as graphs for student interpretation.
