Go Direct Photogate can be used in a variety of experiments:

  • Measuring acceleration of a cart on an incline using a cart picket fence
  • Measuring the angular motion of a wheel as it is turning
  • Investigating Newton’s second law using a half-Atwood machine to measure acceleration
  • Determining the time an object passes one or more gates

USB motion sensor
GO-MOT
product.go-mot._physics._hs._features.001.590.332.jpgGo!Motion is used to collect position, velocity and acceleration data of moving objects. Go!Motion’s USB port allows for direct connection to a computer’s USB port, which simplifies experiment set up. Students learn experientially as they graph the motion of a ball, a cart on a ramp, pendulum motion, or themselves. Go!Motion is easy to use, allowing students to focus on learning scientific concepts instead of setting up the lab. Go!Motion’s head pivots to match the needs of your lab. Flip the head halfway for monitoring the motion of a cart on a track, or flip 180° to record motion data from a tripod. Use the metal screw mount to attach the Go!Motion to a track, such as the Vernier Dynamics System, for studies of velocity and acceleration. Go!Motion features reduced noise and automatic temperature compensation to ensure motion readings are continuously accurate. The sensitivity switch lets you customize settings to your experiment. Measure motion data as close as 15 cm and as far away as 6 m!
