Smart Q secondary sensor range

This 8 range sensor is a must for every Physics department. It is highly accurate and capable of measuring a variety of motions including: pendulum, angular, linear (pulley) and linear (using the Linear Rack accessory). The sensor can be used on its own or coupled with the linear rack and another SmartQ sensor, such as light, to investigate the Inverse square law.

This sensor, when used for measuring motion, is best used with the Dynamics System (3800)
