Linear air track system

A frictionless system to explore kinematics. The most fundamental law of physics states that a moving object will continue forever at a constant velocity unless it is acted on by an external force.

EXAMPLE OF USE
Newton’s Laws
The best way to verify the Newton’s Laws is to study an ideal rectilinear motion using Altay’s Linear Air Track System.
Students can demonstrate precise accelerated motion in a frictionless system.
For example, it is possible to attach a mass to one of the gliders via a pulley, and observe its accelerated motion, while a position sensor detects the characteristic parabolic trend in time.
