The Light Gate is mounted in a robust plastic housing, and the detachable clamping rod can be mounted in three different ways for easier positioning for different investigations.

An LED, in the plastic mounting, flashes when the beam has been interrupted, which helps when setting up with users' own trolleys and inclined planes.

There is a slot and mounting thread for the Spoked Pulley accessory (3177)

Investigations: Physics
Dynamics experiments that involve calculating time, speed, velocity, acceleration using an inclined plan or air track
Acceleration due to gravity
Pendulum investigations
Measuring the time period of an oscillating body

Using a Light Gate and Force Sensor together:
Impulse and change in momentum
Centripetal force in a pendulum
