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.
Texas Instruments Graphing Calculator Compatibility
Purchase the TI Bluetooth adapter to allow this sensor to connect to any of the following Texas Instruments Graphing Calculators:
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.
