Car and Ramp and Photogates

The holder for the photogate is a very tight fit. I had difficulty getting the photogate in the grooves. I purchased an additional photogate for acceleration experiments. I would like it if it had also had a holder. We had to improvise a holder for it. The ramp is easy to manipulate with the wood angles. It makes experimentation easier than using the apparatus I had at my other school. It had the ramp attached to a pole where I had to change the incline on the pole.
