Go Direct® Force and Acceleration Sensor

The Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor couples a 3-axis accelerometer with a stable and accurate force sensor that measures forces as small as ±0.1 N and up to ±50 N. Measure pushes and pulls in the classroom or outdoors. It connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device.

Versatile Experimentation

Go Direct Force and Acceleration can be used in a variety of experiments:

  • Investigate Newton’s Third Law by connecting the hooks of two force sensors with a rubber band.
  • Use the force sensor to pull an object across a surface to measure frictional forces.
  • Attach the force sensor to the Centripetal Force Apparatus to measure centripetal force and acceleration simultaneously.
  • Place sensors on Dynamics Carts to investigate forces and accelerations in collisions.
  • Connect to Scratch 3 and enhance your activity with sensor input to control your sprite.
