Showing 8 experiments that use the Smart Cart Motor.
Red Light/Green Light
Students create Blockly code that controls a wireless light source and a Smart Cart Motor based on inputs from a light sensor and a position sensor. A...
Locating an Earthquake Epicenter
Students model earthquake P and S waves using Smart Carts connected to a Smart Cart Motor. They measure the known speed of the carts and the difference...
Testing Coulomb's Friction Model
Students will use a Smart Cart with a Smart Cart Motor and a friction block to measure the force of kinetic friction at various constant speeds. They will...
Vector Components of Velocity
Students explore the relationship between the velocity of an object and its vector components using a Wireless Motion Sensor, a Smart Cart and a Smart...
Relative Motion
The purpose of this lab is to study motion relative to a moving reference frame. The velocity of a Smart Cart, as measured by the cart's motion sensor,...
Graph Matching
In this lab, the velocity of a Smart Cart Motor is controlled by a Blockly program using an equation of motion. Students try to match the initial velocity...
Average and Instantaneous Velocity
In this activity, students use a Smart Cart Motor attached to a Smart Cart to investigate the differences and relationship between average velocity and...
Smart Cart Meetup
Students collect data of the speed of a Smart Cart powered by a Smart Cart Motor as a function of the power setting. They use the data to create an equation...
