RC Circuits
Students use a voltage sensor and a current sensor with the AC/DC electronics laboratory to determine how the potential differences across the resistors...
Capacitor Fundamentals
Students use a digital capacitance meter and construct capacitors from aluminum foil and paper to determine how physical properties of a parallel-plate...
Electromagnetic Induction
Students use voltage sensor to measure the maximum emf induced in a coil as a permanent magnet is dropped through it. Students vary the number of loops...
Buoyant Force
Students use the Smart Cart force sensor to measure the buoyant force on a metal cylinder lowered into a fluid and then determine the relationship between...
Hydrostatic Pressure
Students use a pressure sensor to measure the static pressure at different depths in a column of water and use their data to determine the mathematical...
Demo: Differences between Velocity and Acceleration
This demonstration uses the Smart Cart Vector Display to show the direction of the acceleration and...
Demo: Independence of x- and y-Projectile Motion (Level Track)
Push the Smart Ballistic Cart on a level track and the ball is shot up and caught. Then put a tunnel...
