oscillator motion
visitors this year: 25 Oscillator motion A position sensor is attached to a weight and spring assembly as shown. This can be used to study simple harmonic motion and the effects of changing the...
pendulum & simple harmonic motion
visitors this year: 135 A position sensor can be used to study this. The sensor is attached to a weight and spring assembly as shown. This can also be used to study the effects...
cart rolling down a slope
visitors this year: 224 A cart rolling down a hill certainly has energy which in turn affects its speed. But how does this speed change when you start the car off from a different...
pendulum swings or bobbing masses
visitors this year: 87 We used a turn (or position) sensor connected to the computer and recorded the swings of a pendulum made of a metal rod and a weight. We tried again this...
a device for teaching dynamics: Dynakar (2013)
visitors this year: 51 It’s a good sign when you find a simple device to help teach a complicated idea. The DynaKar, invented by ScienceScope, is an example of that and it was a...
simple harmonic motion
visitors this year: 21 Simple harmonic motion is rarely as simple as the lesson title implies. This potentiometer-based sensor measures angles as its core rotates. Attaching a ruler as shown (or hack saw blade)...
light gates and switches
visitors this year: 132 These are digital switches that record a time when triggered by say, a dynamics trolley or a card. When you enter parameters like distance or mass into the software, velocity,...
Aerodynamics – Professor Holger Babinsky – 105science
visitors this year: 95 This week we find out about aerodynamics and what it involves. We meet Professor Holger Babinsky at Cambridge University Engineering Department. He talks about wind tunnels and the need for bumps on aeroplane...
