PHYS 142R: Engineers - Rodman

• Measurements and Standards
  ( Primary and secondary standards only)
• Coordinate Systems and Vectors
•  video  - Grains of Rice
• Powers of Ten

•  video  - Marble and Feather
•  video  - Free Fall Acceleration
•  video  - Uniform Linear Acceleration - Time
  (I need various cars for the track. )
• Propeller Cart on Track
  ( I want air track and Pasco track.)
• Measurement of Free Fall Acceleration
• Falling Drops of Milk

•  video  - Shoot and Drop
• Projectile Motion II
•  video  - The Monkey and the Hunter
  ( Please remember that I need the PASCO set up today for my 2nd Interactive lecture demo. I need the motion detector set up at the end of the 2 m track. The air track needs to be very level on the lecture table.)
•  video  - Range Gun

• Hit the Nail on the Head
•  video  - Tablecloth Pull
•  video  - Bottle and Pencil
•  video  - Hanging Masses
•  video  - Ballistics Cart
• Weighing
  (I don't want the triple arm balance, only the spring scale. Other items needed for today: 1) a simple mass at the end of a spring laying horizontally on the table. 2) air track with cars, especially propeller car on which I can place masses. )
• Air Track Reaction Cars
•  video  - Newton's Sailboat
• Distortion Loops

• Weighing
  (I do not want the triple arm balance. I only need the spring scale that is hungvertically so I can weigh objects. I would prefer a spring scale that I can turn around and let the students see the spring in the back. )
•  video  - The Atwood Machine
  (I need an adaption of the Atwood Machine where one mass rests on a weighing scale. I would like to put a spring scale on the other end of the rope so I can show that the weight changes as I put more tension on the rope. I would also like the demo where we have a string over a pulley with a mass on the end. We can find the tension in the string by cutting the string and inserting a spring scale. )
• Coefficient of Friction

• Centripetal Force
• Centripetal Acceleration
  (Along with this demo, I would also like a rope with a mass at the end that I can swing over my head. )
• Rotational Dynamics

• Simple Machines
• Work Done by a Compressed Spring
  ( Don't need timer. I will also need PASCO system hooked up with Data Studio and cars - over 1.5 m off ground as now set up in room 206.)
