The picture shows a mechanics experiment kit for students organized in a red box. It contains various physics tools and a manual called "Mechanics 2.0" for teaching purposes.
The image shows a textured foam insert from an experiment kit with several silver apparatuses and a black plastic part. The parts appear to be designed for conducting physics or chemistry experiments in an educational setting.
The picture shows a set of red rollers and elements arranged in a foam pad. These parts probably belong to an experimental system used for educational purposes in the STEM field.
The picture shows a physics experimental device with several pulleys, a hook and a spring balance, which is used to illustrate basic mechanical principles. Next to the device, various topics such as Hooke's law and the law of the lever are listed.
The picture shows a clear representation of a student mechanical experiment kit containing various components in a red box. Each part is numbered and annotated to facilitate its use in education.
The image shows a side view of a textbook that lists materials for experimenting with Hooke's law. The materials include tripod rods, weights, clamps, and other equipment needed for physics experiments.
The image shows a collection of experimental materials organized in a red storage case. Among them are various plastic and metal components presumably used for educational physics experiments.
The picture shows a stable experimental setup with a vertical stand to which a spring and a weight are attached. This experimental device is used to carry out physical experiments, for example to measure forces or spring constants.
The picture shows a collection of experimental accessories, including brackets, a measuring cylinder, a spring balance and various rods and clips. These components are intended for use in school experiments and scientific investigations.
The picture shows an experimental device for carrying out physical measurements. A weight hangs from a hanging scale that is mounted on a yellow horizontal bar, while a handle holds the scale.
The picture shows two students at a table. The female student is using an experimental device while the male student is taking notes on a worksheet.

experiments
  • 1 - Hooke’s law

    experiment "Hooke’s law"

    In this experiment, the elongation of a spring as a function of the force exerted on the spring is investigated.


  • 2 - Laws of levers – 1st class levers

    experiment "Laws of levers – 1st class levers"

    On the two-sided lever, the leverage law is clarified.


  • 3 - Static and dynamic friction

    experiment "Static and dynamic friction"

    Sliding and static friction are investigated as a function of the normal force, the coefficient of friction and the contact surface. The measurement data are statistically evaluated in a student-friendly manner.


  • 4 - Elastic deformation – leaf springs

    experiment "Elastic deformation – leaf springs"

    In the elastic deformation of a leaf spring, it is investigated whether there is a linear relationship between the deflection of the leaf spring and the attacking force.


  • 5 - Plastic deformation – sand

    experiment "Plastic deformation – sand"

    In the plastic deformation of sand, it is investigated whether the crater diameter generated when a steel ball falls into sand depends linearly on the fall height.


  • 6 - Golden rule of mechanics – Block and tackle

    experiment "Golden rule of mechanics – Block and tackle"

    The Golden Rule of Mechanics is developed at the stations fixed roll, loose roll and pulley.


  • 7 - Spring dynamometers, acceleration due to gravity, weight

    experiment "Spring dynamometers, acceleration due to gravity, weight"

    The use of a force gauge is learned when determining the weight force. The location factor is introduced or repeated. Finally, when comparing the measured values with theoretical values, the accuracy of the force gauge is discussed.


  • 8 - Addition of forces

    experiment "Addition of forces"

    A tensioned rope is pulled with a force gauge. Thus, three forces attack at one point, which can be added very precisely with the force parallelogram. The structure is very easy to adjust, so that many different configurations can be investigated.


  • 9 - Centre of gravity and equilibrium

    experiment "Centre of gravity and equilibrium"

    The center of gravity, or more precisely a heavy axis, of an arbitrarily shaped disc is determined experimentally. Subsequently, the static equilibrium of the disk is examined.


  • 10 - Laws of levers – 2nd & 3rd class levers

    experiment "Laws of levers – 2nd & 3rd class levers"

    On the one-sided lever, the leverage law is clarified.


  • 11 - Inclined planes

    experiment "Inclined planes"

    With a measuring carriage on an inclined plane, the slope driving force is determined for different angles of inclination and different wagon masses.


  • 12 - Golden rule of mechanics – Fixed pulley

    experiment "Golden rule of mechanics – Fixed pulley"

    The Golden Rule of Mechanics is developed at the stations fixed roll, loose roll and pulley.


  • 13 - Golden rule of mechanics – Loose pulley

    experiment "Golden rule of mechanics – Loose pulley"

    The Golden Rule of Mechanics is developed at the stations fixed roll, loose roll and pulley.


  • 14 - Measurement of efficiency on an inclined plane

    experiment "Measurement of efficiency on an inclined plane"

    On an inclined plane, the efficiency of a wagon is compared with that of a friction block.
