Physical Pendulum Period and Inertia
This experiment has two parts: 1. Period of a Thin Rod explores the dependence of the period of a physical pendulum (a uniform bar) on the distance between...
Heat Engine Cycle - Wireless
A P-V diagram is generated as a heat engine is taken through a cycle. From this diagram, the heat added to the gas and the work done by the engine are...
Faraday's Law of Induction - Wireless
A voltage is induced in a coil swinging through a magnetic field. Faraday's Law and Lenz' Law are...
Interference and Diffraction - Wireless
Interference and diffraction patterns from laser light passing through various single-slits and multiple-slits...
Conservation of Energy II - Wireless
A ball is dropped from rest and its height and speed are recorded using a Wireless Motion Sensor. The ball’s potential energy and kinetic energy are...
Magnetic Field in a Coil
Students construct a circuit that produces current in a coil and use a magnetic field sensor and current sensor to investigate its properties. They determine...
Specific Heat - Wireless
In this activity you will use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature change of a volume of cool water when a hot piece of metal is placed in it....
Centripetal Force on a Pendulum - Wireless
The purpose of this activity is to experimentally measure the centripetal force acting on a pendulum...
Projectile Motion - Wireless
This experiment is in four parts: 1. Muzzle Velocity, Time of Flight, and Range 2. Launching at Different Angles on a Plane 3. Predicting the Range of...
Ratio of Specific Heats - Wireless
A cylinder is filled with air and a Wireless Pressure Sensor is attached. The piston is plucked by hand and allowed to oscillate. The oscillating pressure...
