Intro to Measurement
In this lab, students will measure the period of a simple pendulum and use scientific methods to determine the relationships between the period of a pendulum...
Uncertainty and Error Analysis
In this lab, students will learn how to estimate uncertainty for different types of measurements.
Relative Motion in One Dimension
In this lab, students will study motion relative to a moving reference frame.
Graph Matching
In this lab, students will explore plots of position and velocity vs. time. The Motion Sensor is used to detect the motion of a person moving back and...
Instantaneous and Average Speed
In this lab, students will measure a cart's average speed between photogates to observe the difference between instantaneous and average speed.
Position and Velocity
In this lab, students will investigate the relationship between position and velocity using a Motion Sensor to measure the position of a motorized cart.
Velocity and Acceleration
In this lab, students analyze graphs of position and velocity to determine constant velocity and constant acceleration.
Great Race
In this lab, students will race the Fan Cart and Motorized Cart.The Fan Cart gets off to a slow start, but has a constant acceleration. The Motorized Cart...
Equations of Motion
In this lab, students will generate graphs of position and velocity for a cart accelerating down an incline. Then, they'll compare their user-defined curve...
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In this lab, students measure the acceleration of a cart moving down an incline, then, compare their measured value to the theoretical.
