PHYSICS INSTRUMENTS

Ticker Tape Timer devices that use a long roll of ticker tape to count intervals. These intervals are decided by the vibration of the timer itself, which usually vibrates at around 50 hertz. As the timer vibrates, it makes marks on the ticker tape, typically a series of dots that can then be read as an interval of time.

Time of flight accessory The Time-of-Flight Accessory is designed primarily for free fall or projectile experiments. When a projectile is launched or object dropped, a photogate starts the timing of one of PASCO's timing systems. When the object hits the plate of the Time-of-Flight Accessory and makes a noise, a signal is sent to the interface to stop the timer. The signal is identical to the signal sent by a blocked photogate. simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories

Linear Expansion Apparatus

Calorimeter

Thermometer

device makes studying the expansion of metals simple and instantly visible to the student. A metal rod is inserted into the steam chamber and steam is applied. Expansion of the rod is immediately registered by the dial indicator that is mounted on one end. The heat jacket has three inlet tubes for water intake, outlet and thermometer insertion. Unit includes four metal rods 6mm x 60cm of aluminum, steel, copper, and brass. A steam source is not provided. The unit measures 8 cm x 10 cm x 70cm. Instructions included. experimental apparatus that measures the energy of particles. Most particles enter the calorimeter and initiate a particle shower and the particles' energy is deposited in the calorimeter, collected, and measured.calorimeters are segmented transversely to provide information about the direction of the particle or particles, as well as the energy deposited, and longitudinal segmentation can provide information about the identity of the particle based on the shape of the shower as it develops. Calorimetry design is an active area of research in particle physics. device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles.[1] A thermometer has two important elements: the temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb on a mercury thermometer) in which some physical change occurs with temperature, plus some means of converting this physical change into a numerical value (e.g. the scale on a mercury thermometer).

PHYSICS INSTRUMENTS

device that uses a heat source to boil liquid water and convert it into its vapor phase, referred to as steam. The heat may be derived from the combustion of a fuel such as coal, petroleum fuel oil, natural gas, municipal waste or biomass, a nuclear fission reactor and other sources.

used by means of turning the screw through the bottom of the frame until the desired state of pressure or release is reached. In the case that the clamp is being tightened, this is when the objects being secured are satisfactorily secured between the flat end of the screw and the flat end of the frame. If the clamp is being loosened, this is when a sufficient amount of force is released to allow the secured objects to be moved.

Motion Sensor

a device that detects moving objects, particularly people. A motion detector is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area

Photogate Head

has a narrow infrared beam and a fast fall time that provide very accurate signals for timing.

Projectile Launcher and Ball illustrates the idea that motion in different dimensions is absolutely independent. A good launcher not only illustrates this non-intuitive idea, but it can be used to describe the exact motion of the projectile as well

Super Pulley

wheel on an axle that is designed to support movement of a cable or belt along its circumference

Meter Stick

a unit of measurement used for measuring objects that are longer than 12 in. A meter stick usually measures things off in centimeters and millimeters. A meter measures out to about three feet.

Micrometer Caliper

a measurement device for finding very exact measurements of an item; it measures things to a very tight scale and often features a built-in readout of the size of the measured object

Vernier Caliper a measuring device from a compass to intense instruments such as the vernier caliper acting as an advanced ruler. The vernier caliper uses vernier scale to measure more precisely. This instrument provides different methods of measuring including ways to measure external or internal dimensions as well as finding depth measurements. In fact the depth measurement method of using a movable and slide-able probe is so slender that it is able to retrieve data in deep canals

1. Angle Indicator is an accessory used for measuring angles from 0 to 90 in two directions. There are four different methods of using the Angle Indicator: hand-held, by tying a string to each side of the device attached to a PASCO Dynamics Cart, by sliding the device into the slots on the top of the cart. It is necessary to adjust the thumbscrew and square nut as far up as possible on the Angle Indicator. attached to the side of a PASCO Dynamics Track. slipped over the platform on the PASCO CI-6538 Rotary Motion Sensor.

2. Dynamic Cart These carts are tough enough to withstand the worst that students can dish out. More importantly, their axles are aligned to insure that they roll a true line without deviation, minimizing drag and making for accurate data. They give superior data for all quantitative kinematics experiments. Each cart weighs about 1.5kg and rides on three steel ball bearing wheels. The bodies at 31 x 9cm will accept standard bricks as weights. The cart bed is covered with a non slip rubber pad and the ends rise above the bed to contain a brick or any other masses. Each cart also carries a clip at one end to attach a timing tape. One cart features a rubber tipped, trigger released, piston with two different thrust levels. Each cart comes with twelve 3 3/4? rubber loops. The cart with exploding piston also comes with a roll of adhesive tape. We offer the carts as a set or individually. Instructions included.

3. Dynamic track PURPOSE: To show Newton's second law. DESCRIPTION: A dynamic cart rests at one end of a long, level dynamic track. Load the spring mechanism on the dynamic cart by pushing it in and upward. Use a mallet to carefully release the hair trigger and allow the spring to push the cart the length of the track. Now reset the spring and add two masses to triple the mass of the cart. Again, release the hair trigger with the mallet and show that the cart moves some shorter distance. This is similar to the air track glider but there is some small amount of desirable friction and no noise because there is no air blower. EQUIPMENT: long dynamic track, spring loaded dynamic cart, two masses. SETUP NOTES: Be sure that the track is leveled.

4. Force sensor The force sensor is a physics lab apparatus measuring the tensile force and pressure force. The sensor is characterized in measuring interaction force between measured objects under movement state, such as Newton's Third Law, overweight and weight loss, sliding friction, force decomposition synthesis and other experiments.

5. Force table A force board (or force table) is a common physics lab apparatus that has three (or more) chains or cables attached to a center ring. The chains or cables exert forces upon the center ring in three different directions. Typically the experimenter adjusts the direction of the three forces, makes measurements of the amount of force in each direction, and determines the vector sum of three forces. Forces perpendicular to the plane of the force board are typically ignored in the analysis. "The Force Table" is a simple tool for demonstrating Newtons First Law and the vector nature of forces. This tool is based on the principle of equilibrium. An object is said to be in equilibrium when there is no net force acting on it. An object with no net force acting on it has no acceleration. By using simple weights, pulleys and strings placed around a circular table, several forces can be applied to an object located in the center of the table in such a way that the forces exactly cancel each other, leaving the object in equilibrium. (The object will appear to be at rest.) We will use the force table and Newtons First Law to study the components of the force vector.
