Dynamic System

Overview-

Dynamics System is an ideal accessory for the high school physics laboratory that lets students perform hands-on activities in the field of mechanics and is also well suited for teaching motion to middle school students.

Dynamics carts are used in studies of many different principles of physics including energy, forces, speed, velocity, acceleration, momentum, inertia and Newton’s Laws of motion.  Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are many types of energy including mechanical, electrical, sound, heat, light and chemical energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement and potential energy is the energy of position or structure. Energy can be transferred from one object to another and transformed from one type of energy to another.  When two objects collide, such as your dynamic carts, kinetic energy can be transferred from one cart to another and transformed to sound and heat.
