PHYS 201: Principles Of Physics I

• Measurements and Standards
•  video  - Grains of Rice

• I would like to have the PASCO 2-m track, motion detector, motion cart, fan for motion cart, block of wood to tilt track up. I want the motion detector to be on the left side of the track as the students see it. I will need computer set up. I would like to try this out as soon as possible on Monday afternoon. I need a tennis or racquetball also.

• I would like to have the scooter and cart to stand on while I push across the lecture hall. I also need the air track (not the Pasco system) with the fan cart and regular carts of different masses.

• Weighing
  ( I would like to be able to hang 1 kg and 2kg masses on the end of a spring scale in order to discuss how we calibrate forces.)

• I want the two carts that you can stand on. I also would like a heavy bag that two students can toss back and forth. I would also like to have the PASCO 2-m track set up with two force probes with clamps, rubber bands, string in order to demonstrate Newton's 3rd law with force probes. Is it possible to insert the collision spings on each of the force probes and let them collide? Rick made them for the workshop.

• Hit the Nail on the Head
• Weighing
• Air Track Reaction Cars
  (I also need the fan cart and several carts of different masses so I can push them with the fan cart. I would very much like to be able to change the fan speed easily and quickly. )
•  video  - Newton's Sailboat
• Distortion Loops

• I need the PASCO setup with the 2-m track to demonstrate kinetic and static friction. I need at least three of the 1/2 kg masses to put in force probe tray. This is L6.2-1 of PHYS142W.

• Force and Tension
• Coefficient of Friction

• I need a rope or heavy string with a ball on the end, so I can swing it around over my head to demonstrate circula motion.

• Force and Tension

• I want to do Lab 8 in PHYS142W with the PASCO system. I want to do activities 2-2 and 3-1. This is work and energy.

• I also want the two carts that can be sit or stood on and two balls, one heavy and one light, that can be psssed between two people sitting on the cart. I also have a note about a bouncing ball and bean bag. I forget what that is.

• I would like a microphone set up to hear tuning forks and to be able to display the sine curves produced on the big screen. I would like a heavy rope and a light rope so I can demonstrate the dependence of mass density on the speed of a wave.
