Showing 44 experiments that use the PASPORT Motion Sensor.
Near and Far
In this lab, students use a motion sensor to describe the position of an object as being near or far from another object. This lab will help students recognize...
Position: Match Graph
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to track and graph their motion in real time. Students will get a hands-on introduction to the concept of...
Speed and Velocity
In this lab, students will make predictions about how a cart's speed and velocity differ. Then, they'll test their predictions using motion sensors.
Relative Motion
In this lab lab, students will use motion sensors to apply the concepts of relative motion and frames of reference to understanding velocity as a vector...
Acceleration
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to represent motion as a change of position in graphical form.
Newton's First Law
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to determine how force influences the motion of an object. Students will observe that an object’s motion...
Newton's Second Law
In this lab, students will use force and motion sensors to study the relationship between the net force applied to an object, the acceleration of the object,...
Conservation of Energy
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to detect how energy is transformed in a dynamics system. Students will observe that the total energy of...
Conservation of Momentum
In this lab, students will use pairs of motion sensors to explore the concept of momentum and its conservation during common types of collisions.
Impulse Momentum
In this lab, students will use motion and force sensors to explore changes in momentum during a collision. Students will determine how that change is related...
