Showing 15 experiments that use the Wireless Force Acceleration Sensor.
Centripetal Force on a Pendulum - Wireless
The purpose of this activity is to experimentally measure the centripetal force acting on a pendulum...
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...
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.
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...
Forces and Interactions
Students will investigate the relationship between force and acceleration. Newton's first law and and second law will also be explored.
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...
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...
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...
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...
Force
In this activity, students will use motion and force sensors to analyze the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration.
