Impulse and Momentum

The relationship between momentum, force, and impulse is explored when a cart collides with a Force Sensor equipped with either a spring bumper, clay bumper,...

Static Equilibrium of a Rigid Body

A rod mounted on a Rotary Motion Sensor is suspended in static equilibrium. The angles, lever arms, and forces are measured. The forces are summed and...

College / Physics

Spring and Mass Oscillations

A Motion Sensor measures the position of the oscillating mass, and the Force Sensor is used to determine the spring constant. The period of oscillation...

Oscillation of Cart and Spring

For a spring and cart system, the effect on the period is investigated when changing the spring constant, amplitude of the oscillation, and the mass of...

Archimedes' Principle

The buoyant force on several objects is measured by taking the difference between the object's weight in air, and its apparent weight in water. This measured...
