Remind students that they don’t have to release the
car at the same time they click Start due to the automatic
start condition. In addition, data collection will stop automatically
when the car is 75 cm from the Motion Sensor.
-
Be certain the students zero (tare) the force sensor with
no mass hanging from it.
-
The Super Pulley must be adjusted such that the string
from the Force Sensor is parallel to the track.
-
Hooked mass sets will also work fine for this experiment.
-
Remind the students not to let the cord of the force sensor
drag, as this will reduce the kinetic energy.
-
The mass used in the kinetic energy calculation is for
a PAScar used with a PASPORT Force Sensor. If you use a different
cart and/or sensor, enter the correct mass in the calculator
window.
