Position and Velocity
In this lab, students will investigate the relationship between position and velocity using a Motion Sensor to measure the position of a motorized cart.
Velocity and Acceleration
In this lab, students analyze graphs of position and velocity to determine constant velocity and constant acceleration.
Great Race
In this lab, students will race the Fan Cart and Motorized Cart.The Fan Cart gets off to a slow start, but has a constant acceleration. The Motorized Cart...
Equations of Motion
In this lab, students will generate graphs of position and velocity for a cart accelerating down an incline. Then, they'll compare their user-defined curve...
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In this lab, students measure the acceleration of a cart moving down an incline, then, compare their measured value to the theoretical.
Freefall Picket Fence
In this lab, students generate velocity vs. time graph for a picket fence free-falling through a Photogate. Then, students will use their graphs to determine...
Acceleration on an Inclined Plane
In this lab, students will study the relationship between position, velocity and acceleration of a cart as it moves up and down an inclined track.
Projectile Motion
Use photogates to measure time of flight and the initial launch velocity of the ball and predict the range fired at an angle off the table onto the floor....
Projectile against Wall
A ball is fired towards a wall at a fixed distance away. At what angle should the ball be launched so that it hits the wall at the highest location?
