Mechanics
|
Free Fall Laboratory: By inputting air density, wind speed, height, mass and radius, students study free fall using ideal and real world conditions.
|
|
2D Collisions: By making velocity and angular measurements on a simulated air table, students use vector addition to study conservation of momentum. |
Waves
|
Waves on a Rope: Students study factors affecting wave velocity, reflection from a fixed/free end, and constructive/destructive interference.
|
|
Wave Addition: Students adjust the amplitude, wavelength, and phase shift of two waves and are then able to generate the resultant wave. |
Heat
|
Ideal Gas: The pressure, volume, temperature relationship for an ideal gas is investigated using a movable piston in a cylinder and a P-V diagram.
|
|
1st Law of Thermodynamics: Joule’s experiment utilizing a falling mass to stir a container of water. Data is gathered allowing the mechanical equivalent of heat to be determined. |
