Slide the clip in the slot a short distance to align it with the
cross member of the bridge.
Using the Coupler
Each end of the coupler is inserted into the slot on the bot-
tom of the Road Bed to join two Road Beds together.
Using the Mini-car
The ridges in the road bed guide the Mini-car wheels. The supplied mass (approximately 200 g) can be set in the
recess in the Mini-car to give the car more mass. If smaller masses are desired, use the Mass and Hanger Set
(PASCO Model ME-8979).
The photogate flag fits into the slot on the side of the Mini-car. As the car passes through a photogate, the infra-
red beam is blocked twice by the flag. To find the speed of the car, measure the distance between the leading
edges of the flag (approximately 1 cm) and measure the time between the events when the infrared beam is
blocked.
The Accessory Photogate with Stand (PASCO Model ME-9204B) is useful as a free-standing photogate.
