Introduction
PASCO model ME-6841 consists of two curved sections that can
be joined with straight PAStrack sections to form a single track
with different levels. The combined track can be used to study
how a change in height affects the motion of a cart. The track is
compatible with all PASCO dynamics carts (including plastic
PAScars and classic aluminum carts) and other dynamics system
accessories.
