Acceleration on an Inclined Plane
What is the acceleration of an object down an inclined plane? What do the motion graphs of an object down an inclined plane look like? Galileo Galilei...
Position: Match Graph
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to track and graph their motion in real time. Students will get a hands-on introduction to the concept of...
Speed and Velocity
In this lab, students will make predictions about how a cart's speed and velocity differ. Then, they'll test their predictions using motion sensors.
Relative Motion
In this lab lab, students will use motion sensors to apply the concepts of relative motion and frames of reference to understanding velocity as a vector...
Acceleration
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to represent motion as a change of position in graphical form.
Projectile Motion
In this lab, students will use pairs of photogates to demonstrate how independent, horizontal and vertical motions describe the motion of a projectile.
Two Dimensional Motion: Projectiles
In this lab, students use a photogate and mini launcher to measure the variables that affect the two-dimensional motion of a projectile launched horizontally,...
Relative Motion in One Dimension
In this lab, students will study motion relative to a moving reference frame.
Graph Matching
In this lab, students will explore plots of position and velocity vs. time. The Motion Sensor is used to detect the motion of a person moving back and...
Instantaneous and Average Speed
In this lab, students will measure a cart's average speed between photogates to observe the difference between instantaneous and average speed.
