Instrument Function Picture
Digital Required when
Adapter photogates, timing and
counting sensors are used
with any PASPORT
interface. Allows you to
connect old ULI digital
sensors (photogates,
radiation monitors, etc.)

Protractor Used for measuring

angles in degrees.

Super Pulley Main function is to

change the direction of
the tension force in
a rope. It also lessens the
amount of force we will
exert.

Mass Hanger Helps in creating any

desired amount of mass
An instrument used in
measuring weights and
used in hanging different
objects.

Force Table Designed for force and

vector demonstrations.
Consists of 4 pulleys, 4
weight hangers and 4sets
of slotted weights
Force Sensor Can measure force
between almost any two
surfaces and are durable
enough to stand up to
most environments.

Xplorer GLX A portable graphing data

logger, perfect for real-
time data collection and
analysis in the classroom
or in the field. Provides
convenient and powerful
data collection, display
and analysis -- even
without a computer
Photogate A port attached to the
Port photogate

Paper Tape A narrow paper tape

which can be passed
through printing devices
that place symbols
ranging from simple dots
to alpha-numeric
symbols.

Tape Timer Act as clocks or stop

watches. They
make individual "tic"
marks on the paper tape
at regular time intervals
as the tape is pulled
through the device.
 Universal Used to hold light objects
Table Clamp and to secure the position
of the object

Photogate  Monitors the motion of

Head objects passing through
its gate, counting events
as the object breaks the
infrared beam.

Picket Fence The free falling object.

It is often used in
experiment of Newton’s
second law of motion.

Projectile Illustrates the idea that

Launcher motion indifferent
dimensions is absolutely
independent, and used to
describe the exact motion
of the projectile as well

UCM Kit A kit that determines the

motion of an object in a
circle at a constant speed

.
 Angle Helps you find the exact
Indicator angle measurement.

Time of Designed primarily for

Flight free fall or projectile
Accessory experiments. Once the
object hits its plate, it
will send a signal to the
photogate to stop the
timer.

Equal Arm A balance in which the

Balance distances from the point
of support of the balance-
arm beam to the two pans
at the end of the beam
are equal.

Friction A heavy compressed

Board impregnated solid board
used for making pulleys
usually by cutting.

Friction Develops the relationship

Block between the surface
smoothness and the force
of friction, static and
kinetic friction,
coefficient of friction and
the equations for sliding
friction.
