By standing on a 2-Axis Force Platform
while pushing against the wall with a
1-Axis Force Platform, a real-life statics
problem can be analyzed.
Friction
Velocity profile of a thrown tennis ball.
Normal
Typical Applications
Measure the sideways force during a broad jump
Measure the normal and parallel forces on a wall as a
ladder leans against the wall
Measure the normal and parallel forces as a person
walks or runs across the platform
Pull an object across the platform and measure the
normal and frictional forces
Confirm Newton’s Third Law by pushing
on a Force Platform using two sets of
handles (available separately). Handles
bolt onto the Force Platform (1-axis or
2-axis). Can be mounted on either
side or both sides.
The normal and parallel
forces are recorded as
the girl jumps off the
platform.
Slide the included bracket onto the arm
of a PASCO photogate (ME-9498A or
ME-9204B) and feed the photogate tape
through the bracket to measure position,
velocity and acceleration.
Typical Applications
Throwing: Investigate the relationship between the
motion of the arm and speed of a thrown ball
Running: Connect the tape to a sprinter and measure
speed “out of the blocks”
Kicking: Measure the speed of a kicked soccer ball
for a variety of students
