Cart Fan provides a simple way to create
constant acceleration when using the Dynamics Cart and Track System
and the Go Direct® Sensor Cart
BEAVERTON, Ore., June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vernier Science Education is
launching the Cart Fan, an accessory for Vernier carts that
provides high school and college-level students and educators with
an easy way to conduct hands-on experiments involving constant
acceleration. This modular fan, which can connect to both the
Dynamics Cart and Track System Cart and the Go Direct Sensor Cart,
enables students to explore constant acceleration, variable mass,
variable thrust angle, and variable thrust and duration at the push
of a button as they investigate important kinematics and dynamics
concepts.
"The Cart Fan is a great accessory for any of our cart
solutions, including our completely wireless Dynamics Cart and
Track System with Go Direct Sensor Carts," said
Jill Hedrick, CEO of Vernier Science
Education. "Students and educators no longer need to use an
inclined track or surface to create constant acceleration with
their carts—they can simply add one or more Cart Fans to increase
thrust as they collect data and complete hands-on
investigations."
The Cart Fan attaches to various carts from Vernier Science
Education using a mounting system. After the fan is attached, users
can select a thrust level and duration and then press the Start
button to begin operation. A total of three Cart Fans can fit on
the mounting system to add up to three times more thrust and
directional thrust. By varying the orientation of the fans,
students and educators can additionally apply multiple opposing
forces to a single dynamics cart and observe its motion.
With the addition of the Cart Fan, students can easily
complete investigations that explore uniform acceleration, opposing
forces, Newton's second law, and more.
The Cart Fan includes both a rechargeable battery and charging
cable for always-ready operation. It is also backed by Vernier
product support and a five-year limited warranty.
