First Class Levers #1
(PDF)
In this experiment, you will study first class
levers using a computer-interfaced Force Sensor to measure
resistance force and effort force (in newtons). You will then
use this information to calculate the mechanical advantage of
each lever.
First Class Levers #2
(PDF)
You will use a Force Sensor to measure
resistance force and effort force (in newtons). You will then
use this information to calculate the mechanical advantage of
each lever.
Pulleys (PDF)
In this experiment, you will use a Force Sensor
to measure the effort force (in N) for three different pulley
systems and then determine the mechanical advantage of each
system.
Centripetal
Acceleration (PDF)
Purpose: To
observe the centripetal acceleration of an object in uniform
circular motion. Relate the changes in velocity and radius to
the centripetal acceleration.
Freezing Temperature of
Ocean Water (PDF)
In this experiment, you will use an EasyTemp
probe to measure the temperature of water as it cools and then
freezes. In Part I, you will collect temperature data as you
freeze fresh water and determine its freezing temperature. In
Part II you do the same for ocean water. You will then compare
the two freezing temperatures and hypothesize why they are
different.
