Showing 4 experiments that use the Wireless 2-Axis Force Platform.
Modeling a Large Falling Chain
Students measure the force of a large chain as it lands on a wireless force platform. They are led step-by-step through a process to create a numerical...
Investigating a Vertical Jump
Students use a force platform to measure the normal force on a jumper during a vertical jump and landing. They create a graph of the net force and use...
Investigating a Bouncing Ball
Students investigate the characteristics of a bouncing ball by measuring the force applied to it from a force platform. They use the force vs time to find...
Leaning Ladders
Students make predictions about the forces acting on a dynamic track (ladder) leaning against a smooth wall. They check their predictions using a Wireless...
