Product Summary
The tank-like molded casing and a rugged internal gear mechanism are built for the harshest student environment. Runs on four “C” batteries and has variable speed adjustment knob. External power input accepts phone plug cable (included) to power the car with a DC power supply or 850 Universal Interface signal generator.
Features
- Strong Traction: Rear wheels can propel cart up a 30° slope
- Rugged Construction: The tank-like molded casing and a rugged, internal gear mechanism are built for the harshest student laboratory conditions.
- Works with Time Pulse Accessory: Turn the cart on for repeatable time intervals of 1 to 7 seconds with the Time Pulse Accessory (ME-9496).
- External Power Input Jack: Accepts phone plug (included) to DC Power Supply or Computer Power Amplifier (for use with ScienceWorkshop experiments), or to Time Pulse Accessory (ME-9496).
- Variable-speed Knob: Set and maintain constant speeds. Voltage is internally regulated.
What's Included
- 1x Motorized cart
- 1x Cable for connecting to external power supply

In this lab, students will race the Fan Cart and Motorized Cart.The Fan Cart gets off to a slow start, but has a constant acceleration. The Motorized Cart has a constant speed and initially pulls out ahead. But what determines...
College / Physics
In this lab, students will investigate the relationship between position and velocity using a Motion Sensor to measure the position of a motorized cart.
College / Physics
In this lab, students will study motion relative to a moving reference frame.
College / Physics
In this lab, students analyze graphs of position and velocity to determine constant velocity and constant acceleration.
High School / Physics
In this lab lab, students will use motion sensors to apply the concepts of relative motion and frames of reference to understanding velocity as a vector quantity in one-dimensional motion.
