Showing 15 experiments that use the Wireless Force Acceleration Sensor.

College / Physics

Centripetal Force on a Pendulum - Wireless

The purpose of this activity is to experimentally measure the centripetal force acting on a pendulum...

College / EngineeringPhysics

Static Equilibrium

There are two requirements for an object to be in static equilibrium: The sum of the torques is zero and the sum of the forces is zero. An object is hung...

High School / Biology

Muscle Stretch Reflex

Students use an EKG sensor along with a force sensor to determine the average time for the calf muscle to respond to the Achilles reflex.

High School / Physics

Analyzing a Static Beam

Students take measurements of various arrangements of a static beam and use them to make predictions about the forces on the beam. A force sensor is used...

Middle School / Physical Science

Forces and Interactions

Students will investigate the relationship between force and acceleration. Newton's first law and and second law will also be explored.

High School / Physics

Newton's Second Law

Students measure the force on a cart and its resulting acceleration for a modified Atwood machine. They vary the weight on the hanger and create a graph...

High School / Physics

Change in Kinetic Energy

Students use a modified Atwood machine to study how the change in kinetic energy is related to the net force applied and distance travelled. They use sensors...

High School / Physics

Impulse and Change in Velocity

Students collide a cart into a spring bumper attached to a force sensor, while simultaneously measuring the velocity of the cart before, during, and after...

High School / Physics

Modeling the Force of Friction

Students measure the force of kinetic and static friction between a friction tray and dynamics track using a wireless force sensor. They vary the weight...

High School / STEM

Force

In this activity, students will use motion and force sensors to analyze the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration.
