The Go Direct® Force Plate can measure the forces developed during stepping, jumping, and other human-scale actions. Force range is –350 to +3,500 N. Force plate measures 31.5 x 31.5 x 3.5 cm. Rechargeable battery offers long battery life. Comes with a pair of handles and micro USB cable.

Product Details
Designed for much greater forces than the Vernier® Dual-Range Force and Go Direct® Force and Acceleration sensors, the Go Direct® Force Plate can measure the forces developed during stepping, jumping, and other human-scale actions.

For example, you can perform the following kinds of experiments:

• Observe the change in normal force during an elevator ride
• Measure the impulse delivered by the floor during a jump
• Measure the reaction force as a student leans against a wall

Rechargeable Battery—Ready When You Are
The robust rechargeable sensor battery offers long battery life and provides always-ready operation when using the sensor wirelessly. Monitor battery life directly from the award-winning Vernier Graphical Analysis® app, as well as LabQuest® 3. Should the battery run low, simply use the charging cable to connect the sensor to a USB device or to the Go Direct® Charge Station (item #118004, sold separately).

Wireless or Wired—The Flexibility to Choose
The Go Direct® sensor connects directly to your mobile device and Chromebook® or other computer using the Vernier Graphical Analysis® app—no additional equipment or software purchases are necessary. The sensor also can be used wired via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth® technology, allowing you to choose the solution best for your classroom or laboratory.
