Showing 39 experiments that use the Wireless Force Acceleration Sensor.
Forces and Interactions
Students will explore the interactions between forces and motion and apply Newton's 1st and 3rd Laws of Motion.
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...
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....
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,...
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...
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...
Graphs of Motion
What do graphs of motion look like? The Smart Cart is a device that displays its motion—position, velocity, and acceleration—on your computer...
Archimedes' Principle
In this lab, students will use force sensors to measure the change in gravitational force on an object in the air and on that same object immersed...
Newton's First Law
In this lab, students will use motion and force sensors to determine how the change in an object’s motion is related to the force (push or...
Newton's Third Law
In this lab, students will use two force sensors to measure a pair of oppositely directed forces.
