Mechanics Learning Activities
Avantor offers a complete catalogue of instruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.
Torsion of Metal Rods Apparatus
Torsion of Metal Rods Apparatus shows students the affect of a torque on a metal rod.
Vernier® Adjustable End Stop
Attaches to the end of the Vernier Dynamics Track to prevent the cart from leaving the track.
Vernier® Air Track Adapter
Allows the Dual-Range Force Sensor to be mounted on the end of an air track for collision studies. Compatible with most air tracks distributed or made by PASCO scientific, Central Scientific, or Daedalon Corporation. Includes two magnetic bumpers.
Vernier® Adapter for Pasco Cart
The Adapter for Pasco cart allows the attachment of a Vernier Dual-Range Force Sensor to a Pasco cart.
Vernier® Spirometer Flow Head
An extra flow head eliminates the need for equipment downtime while sterilizing an original flow head. The flow head consists of a polycarbonate outer body with a stainless-steel inner mesh.
Hydraulic Press
Consists of two interconnected cylinders of different diameters based upon two graduated glass syringes of 10mL and 50mL, with cross-sectional area of 3 to 1.
Truss Kit
Studying dynamic tension has never been easier with this simple form truss kit. The kit includes a half-meter truss with hooks on both sides, V-shaped clamp.Recommended stand and rod, item 470137-892 Required but not included are masses and spring scale.
