Showing 18 experiments that use the PASPORT Force Sensor.
Simple Harmonic Motion
In this lab, students will use force and motion sensors to determine the spring constant. Students will measure the spring extension created by three different...
Circular Motion
In this lab, students will use force sensors to develop a kinesthetic understanding of circular motion. Students will measure the period of rotation of...
Centripetal Force
In this lab, students will use force sensors to study the centripetal force experienced by an object in uniform circular motion.
Muscle Fatigue (PASPORT sensors)
Use a force sensor to determine grip strength and compare muscle fatigue in hand muscles caused by isotonic (“same tension”) and isometric (“same...
Buoyant Force
In this lab, students use a high-resolution force sensor to measure the buoyant force on a metal cylinder lowered into a fluid and then determine the relationship...
Coefficients Of Friction
In this lab, students use a motion sensor and a force sensor to determine the static and kinetic friction coefficients between two contacting surfaces.
Momentum And Impulse
In this lab, students use a motion sensor, force sensor, and dynamics system to investigate the relationship between the change in momentum of a cart undergoing...
Centripetal Force
The dependence of centripetal force on radius and angular velocity is investigated. A rigid pendulum hangs from a force sensor mounted directly onto the...
