Verifying Length Measurements with Photogate
Measurement of Length
Use photogate to measure length of objects passing through the beam — connects to precision measurement concepts
Pendulum Time Period Measurement
Mass and Time
Use photogate to precisely measure time period of pendulum oscillations — directly teaches time measurement and pendulum concepts
Back and Forth Motion (Pendulum)
Rest and Motion - Kinds of Motion
Use photogate to measure periodic oscillatory motion of a pendulum; demonstrates vibratory/periodic motion types
Picket Fence Free Fall
Speed and Velocity
Measure velocity of falling picket fence at successive points to demonstrate acceleration and changing speed
Conservation of Energy with Ramp
Forms of Energy and Interconversion
Roll ball down ramp; measure velocity to calculate KE and compare with PE at top; shows energy conservation
