Ideal Gas Law - Wireless
The temperature, volume, and pressure of a gas are measured simultaneously to show that they change according to the Ideal Gas Law. Special cases of constant...
Rotational Inertia - Wireless
The rotational inertia of an object is a measure of how hard it is to rotate the object. The purpose of this experiment is to find the rotational inertia...
Electrical Equivalent of Heat - Wireless
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the amount of electrical energy that is equivalent...
Physical Pendulum Period - Wireless
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...
Ballistic Pendulum - Wireless
A ballistic pendulum is used to determine the muzzle velocity of a ball shot out of a Projectile Launcher. The laws of conservation of momentum and conservation...
Magnetic Fields of Coils - Wireless
The magnetic fields of various coils are plotted versus position as the Magnetic Field Sensor is passed through the coils, guided by a track. The position...
Newton's Third Law
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between forces forming an action-reaction pair.
Newton's Second Law
The purpose of this experiment is to verify Newton’s Second Law for a one dimensional system. A measured force is applied to a low friction cart and...
Zeeman Effect
In a magnetic field, the spectral lines of atoms split into a number of closely spaced lines. This is called the (anomalous) Zeeman Effect. The Zeeman...
Work Energy Theorem
The purpose of this activity is to compare the total work done on an object to the change in kinetic energy of the object. The force sensor is used to...
