The accessory tray on the top of the Smart Cart can hold
any of the accessories designed for a PASCO cart. The
Smart Cart dimensions are the same as other PASCO
carts and can be used with any PASCO track. The
Smart Cart can be stacked with any PASCO cart and its
mass is approximately 0.250 kilograms (about 250
grams). It has attachment points on the top and bottom
of both ends, and Velcro® tabs for inelastic collisions on
one end. The Magnetic Bumper, Bumper Attachment,
and Hook Attachment fit into the threaded hole in the
end of the Smart Cart opposite to the tabs.
The built-in sensors measure force in the range between
-100 newtons (N) and +100 N, acceleration in the range
between -16g and +16g (g = ±9.8 m/s
2
), and angular
rotation rate up to ±245 degrees per second (dps). It
measures force as a push or pull along its X axis and
measures acceleration in three dimensions (X, Y, and
Z). The PASCO Data Collection Software can also show
the resultant acceleration. The encoder wheels on the
Smart Cart measure motion to a maximum of 3.0 meters
per second with a resolution of 0.2 millimeters (mm).
The positive direction of motion is the same as the
X-axis in the graphic that represents the acceleration
sensor’s position
.
The Smart Cart is designed to optimize the battery
usage time. Since each Smart Cart has a unique Device
ID number, more than one can be connected to a
computer or tablet at the same time.
