Linear Air Track – 2.1 Metres with Accessories (Dynamics & Motion Apparatus)

This 2.1‑metre Linear Air Track provides a cost‑effective and reliable system for studying all aspects of dynamics and motion in a virtually friction‑free environment. Designed specifically for classroom and laboratory use, it enables accurate, repeatable demonstrations of fundamental physics principles, from velocity and acceleration to energy transformations and conservation laws.

The air track is ideal for teaching collisions and conservation of momentum, where the near‑zero friction surface makes the behaviour of gliders clear and easy for students to observe. Each glider is designed to accept standard slotted masses, allowing you to vary loads and conduct a wide range of quantitative investigations.

This complete kit comes with a comprehensive set of accessories, including gliders with mass attachments, catapults, buffers, and more. It supports an extensive variety of experiments covering:

• Velocity, force, and acceleration
• Potential and kinetic energy
• Conservation of energy
• Simple harmonic motion (SHM)
• Motion on level and inclined planes
• Elastic and inelastic collisions

For speed measurements, the system is fully compatible with standard light gates and timers (sold separately).
Please note: This air track is supplied without the air blower (2061).
