Vu Timing Ramp Set Data Logging 11-18 years

The Vu Timing Ramp Set is a dynamic tool for teaching speed, acceleration, and friction to students aged 11-18. Featuring an adjustable incline ramp and interchangeable slope surfaces, the kit allows students to explore the principles of physics through practical experimentation. Designed for compatibility with Vu data loggers, the ramp integrates seamlessly with sensor input for precise time and speed measurement.

Educational Benefits:

• Demonstrates concepts of friction, acceleration, and gravity.
• Encourages experimentation with variables such as ramp height and surface.
• Provides quantitative data for motion analysis.
• Supports senior science curriculum outcomes in physics and engineering.

Classroom Use Ideas:

• Compare time and speed across different surface materials.
• Use the adjustable incline to study how slope affects acceleration.
• Integrate with timing sensors for data-rich investigations.
• Explore energy conversion from potential to kinetic.

Specifications:

• 1 metre adjustable ramp (4 height levels)
• 4 slope surfaces with varying friction
• Includes weighted car, magnet, and proximity switches
• Proximity sensors detect motion via magnet
• For use with Vu data loggers only
• Suitable for ages 11-18
