PASCO PASPORT Force Platform

Purpose: The sturdy, glass-filled nylon platform is supported by four force beams that measure the total force acting on the platform. You can use the Force Platform to measure the static weight of a structure or person, as well as the dynamic, vertical force created when moving or jumping. Key Features: - Large enough for jumping and standing Rugged design Force Overload Protection Educational Topics: Determine hang time by jumping from and landing on the platform Measure impulse and maximum force Measure the normal force acting on a person riding an elevator Use two Force Platforms to investigate Newton’s Third Law Use a Motion Sensor and a ball to compare the impulse and change in momentum as the ball collides with the platform
