Showing 18 experiments that use the PASPORT Force Sensor.
Heavy and Heavier
In this lab, students use a force sensor to measure weight. This lab should help students recognize that an object's weight is not necessarily related...
Conservation of Matter
In this lab, students use a force sensor to demonstrate that the weight of a whole object is equal to the sum of its parts' weights.
Introduction to Force
In this lab, students will use force sensors to observe and measure contact and non-contact forces as they relate to gravity.
Archimedes' Principle
In this lab, students will use force sensors to explore the relationship between the volume of fluid displaced by a submerged object and the buoyant force...
Hooke's Law
In this lab, students will use force sensors to observe the relationship between the extension of a spring and the resulting force required to extend the...
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,...
Newton's Third Law
In this lab, students will use pairs of force sensors to observe the relationship between an action force and the resulting reaction force.
Static and Kinetic Friction
In this lab, students will use force sensors to investigate static friction and kinetic (sliding) friction.
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...
Work and Energy
In this lab, students will use motion and force sensors to develop an understanding of the work-energy theorem that relates the work done on an object...
