Motion on an Inclined Air Track

Posted on January 1, 2009 by admin

In this simple lab using an air track and two photogates, students will calculate the acceleration of a glider sliding on an incline, and calculate the force that caused the acceleration. Simple connected photogates are needed for this lab. They need to display the time they are blocked, and the time between. Note that “time between” is from the beginning of one gate to the beginning of the other.

Lab # 2.1 Mechanics: Walking the Plank
Purpose
In this activity, students will measure and interpret the forces acting on an object when the object is in equilibrium.
Discussion
Consider two sign painters who work on a scaffold (a plank of wood suspended by ropes at both ends). They might wonder about the tension in the ropes that support [...]
