Rolling Friction Cars (Set of 4)
United Scientific ROLLFRICT is a complete set of four rolling carts, each with wheels made from a different material to demonstrate the effects of rolling friction. Designed for quantitative experiments, this set allows students to explore how surface texture and wheel composition influence resistance and motion.
Key Features:
- Wheel Materials: soft silicone, soft rubber, wood, and fabric
- Equal Mass: all carts are identical in mass for controlled comparisons
- Free-Rolling Design: wheels roll smoothly without slipping
- Construction: durable plastic carts with integrated wheel wells
- Instructional Support: includes activity guide for guided experiments
Technical Specifications:
- Cart Dimensions: 5.25" × 2.125" × 1"
- Well Dimensions: 2.3" × 2" × 0.94"
- Wheel Dimensions: approx. 1.9" long × 1.17" diameter
- Quantity per Set: 4 carts (1 of each wheel type)
Applications:
Ideal for physics classrooms, STEM labs, and mechanics demonstrations, this set enables students to:
- Compare rolling resistance across different materials
- Investigate the relationship between surface contact and motion
- Explore Newton’s Laws, force diagrams, and energy loss due to friction
