Vernier Go Direct 2-Axis Force Plate
Order code: GDX-FP2DVERNIER GO DIRECT® 2-AXIS FORCE PLATE.
Use the Vernier Go Direct 2-Axis Force Plate to measure both the lateral and normal forces developed during investigations involving friction, stepping, jumping and other human-scale actions.
The Vernier Go Direct 2-Axis Force Plate is an all in one solution that combines the Vernier Go Direct Force Plate and the Vernier Lateral Force Accessory into one wireless tool. It measures both normal and lateral forces, allowing students to explore more complex force interactions beyond single axis analysis. This expanded capability makes it ideal for studying real world applications in advanced high school and university physics and engineering courses.
Possible experiments include:
• Evaluation and analysis of normal force and friction forces
• Analysis of reaction forces of static systems
• Evaluation of vector components of forces
• Investigation of forces involved in biomechanics of walking, running, and jumping
Rechargeable Battery Ready When You Are:
The robust rechargeable battery offers long battery life. Monitor battery life directly from our award winning Vernier Graphical Analysis® app as well as a Vernier LabQuest® 3. If the battery runs low, simply connect the sensor to the charging cable and keep on collecting.
Wireless Bluetooth or USB Wired provides the Flexibility to Choose:
Our Go Direct sensors connect directly to your mobile device, Chromebook™ or computer using our Vernier Graphical Analysis® app, no additional equipment or software purchases are necessary. Go Direct sensors can be used via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth®, allowing you to choose the best solution for your classroom or laboratory.
