Laboratory information
The rolling car laboratory lets you study basic kinematics by letting a small car fall down a ramp. This will result in a linear accelerated motion. You can use the built-in timer to measure yourself how much time the car takes to fall. Alternatively, after each experiment is over, the software will tell you the time it took.
