Introduction

The PAStrack Wheel Set consists of two wheel enclosures that mount on the bottom of any PASCO PAStrack.
Once the wheel set is mounted on the bottom of a PAStrack, the PAStrack with wheels can be used to help stu-
dents better understand frames of reference. For example, a cart runs on top of the PAStrack with wheels as the
PAStrack itself moves. Using visual observation or motion sensors, students can compare the motion of the cart
relative to the moving PAStrack and relative to the “stationary” lab frame.

The PAStrack with wheels can be used on any flat surface such as a tabletop or floor. It can also be used with a
PASCO dynamics track, which reduces friction and is easily leveled or inclined. The PAStrack with wheels is
compatible with other PASCO carts, including motorized carts and fan carts.

Assembly

Each wheel enclosure has align-
ment tabs and a mounting screw.
The alignment tabs are designed to
fit into similarly shaped notches
on both ends of the PAStrack
approximately 11 cm from each
end.
