Dynamic Trolley 6″ (Pair)

The dynamic trolley, also known as a physics trolley, is a versatile piece of science equipment used to study the laws of motion and other physics concepts in a classroom or lab setting. It is typically a small, robust cart with low-friction wheels designed to move smoothly and predictably on a level track. They are commonly sold in pairs.

Here are some of the common features of a dynamic trolley:

• Size: Dynamic trolleys typically come in a range of sizes, with a 6-inch length being a common option for smaller experiments or setups with limited space.
• Wheels: They are equipped with low-friction wheels, often made of plastic or rubber, to minimize resistance and ensure smooth rolling motion.
• Mass: The mass of the trolley can vary depending on the material and design, but they are generally lightweight to minimize inertia and allow for easy acceleration.
• Attachment points: Some trolleys may have hooks, clips, or other attachment points for connecting masses, springs, or other components used in experiments.

Dynamic trolleys are used in a variety of physics experiments, including:

• Studying motion: By measuring the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the trolley under different conditions, students can explore the concepts of kinematics.
• Investigating forces: By applying forces to the trolley using springs, magnets, or inclined planes, students can learn about Newton’s laws of motion.
• Measuring friction: By observing how friction affects the movement of the trolley on different surfaces, students can gain an understanding of this force that opposes motion.
• Momentum and collisions: By studying the interactions between two colliding trolleys, students can explore the concept of momentum and how it is conserved in a closed system.
