Foundation Physics - Loop TrackPlease Note: The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is not included with the Loop Track and will need to be purchased separately using code PP00054183The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum. The Universal Stand is required for each add-on.When used with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand, this Loop Track enables students to investigate how a roller coaster car can stay on the track when it travels in a large, circular loop.This uses a straight, 80 cm long portion of the track with a marble to investigate acceleration. The circular portion lets students experimentally determine the minimum velocity the marble needs to make one full trip around the loop.A photogate system (not supplied) can be incorporated to take speed and acceleration measurements.The Loop Track includes:1 x Loop Track with mounting boltPlastic Marbles (19mm diameter)Steel Marbles (19mm diameter)InstructionsTeachers GuideStudents GuideAdditional apparatus required:Foundation Physics Universal StandPhotogate System (optional)StopwatchMetre Ruler
