Product Summary
This kit is designed to support all of the sensor-based, hands-on lab investigations within the Essential Physics 3rd Edition Curriculum, as well as the Comprehensive Physics Investigations lab manual. This kit includes enough equipment for a full year of investigations in a standard, algebra-based physics course.
What's Included
System Requirements
Elements of this system require software to collect and display data.
Battery and Logging
| Elements of this system have rechargeable, internal batteries |
| Elements of this system can connect through BT 4.0 |
1 Minimum # of data points with all measurements enabled, actual results depend on enabled measurements.
2 Continuous use in a connected state until battery failure, actual results will depend on sample rate, active measurements, and battery condition.
3 Logging until battery failure, actual results will depend on sample rate, active measurements, and battery condition.
* Normal classroom use is the sensor in active use for 20min/lab for 120 lab periods/yr.
