Description
With this highly versatile sensor, you can put a new spin on many common experiments. The PASCO Rotary Motion Sensor measures position, velocity, and angular and linear acceleration. Use it to study not only rotary motion, pendulum motion, and angular motion, but also a wide range of other topics.
Along with the use of the right accessories, the PASCO Rotary Motion Sensor can be used to measure or determine the acceleration of gravity. It can also be used to study linear velocity and acceleration (angular and linear) with incredible (0.09°) resolution and accuracy. And it can be used with a light sensor in the Optics lab to incrementally scan across diffraction and interference patterns. A higher maximum spin rate (30 rev/sec) allows students to perform a full range of motion experiments.
Typical applications include: verifying conservation of angular momentum; calculating rotational inertia of disk ring and point mass; measuring displacement velocity and acceleration of a cart on a track; conducting quantitative analysis of simple harmonic motion; and measuring acceleration of a cart caused by a mass hung over a pulley.
NOTE: This sensor requires a PASPort compatible interface and software.
Features
- Measures magnitude and direction of motion.
- Ball bearings minimize friction and provide mechanical support to rotating objects.
