Constant Velocity Car (Tumble Buggy)

Speed up your lessons on uniform velocity. Equally appealing to students of all ages, this simple but powerful toy provides a visible source of uniform speed. Your students can easily quantify and graph their results, starting them on the road to a conceptual understanding of motion. Requires 2 C batteries, not included. The Constant Velocity Car comes with a data sheet including background and product information, suggested activities, and related products. Size: 7" x 4" Body styles and colors subject to change. FAQ's Can you adjust the speed of the car? Yes. Covering one of the batteries with aluminum foil reduces the velocity by about half. What other ways can the Constant Velocity Car be used? Race it against a car that accelerates, tie it to a pole for centripetal force, calculate the horsepower of a car going up an incline, or tie two cars together and place a mass in only one of them. These cars can be pulled out for many concepts related to force and motion, especially kinematics.
