About This Product
After levelling the track, students give a trolley a small push and follow its motion to study uniform and accelerated motion and the link between force and motion. Collision runs on the track show elastic and inelastic collisions and the conservation of momentum. Friction is much reduced but not removed completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Low Friction Track remove friction completely?
No. It reduces friction to give smoother motion, but some friction remains.
