The Xplorer GLX is a powerful tool for science--giving you the option of performing probeware-based experiments even when you don't have computers available.

This probeware lab manual provides experiments written for using the Xplorer GLX as a stand-alone data collection and analysis device. Measure, analyze, print or save to a USB flash drive for further analysis or reports--all with the Xplorer GLX and the appropriate sensors.

The lab manual Includes 35 probeware-based Physics experiments in a 3-ring binder plus a USB Flash Drive loaded with resources.

The related probeware bundle allows you to equip your lab with the sensors required for these experiments. (CA-6789A).

Featured Experiment
Lab #19 Work and Energy

Purpose
The purpose of this activity is to compare the work done on a cart to the change in kinetic energy of the car. Determine the relationship of work done to the change in energy.

Preview
Use a force sensor to measure the motion of the cart as it is pulled by thing string. use the Xplorer GLX to record and display the force and the motion. Determine the work done on the system and the final kinetic energy of the system. Compare the work done to the final kinetic energy.

Students easily visualize and calculate the work done on the cart by using the “area under the curve function.” They then compare this work applied to the change in kinetic energy of the cart (change in velocity is measured with the motion sensor).
