PHYS 142R: Engineers-Rodman

• My, this is a wonderful facility! I need to have the computer setup in room 204 for my lecture and connected to the internet.

• Measurements and Standards
• Coordinate Systems and Vectors
•  video  - Grains of Rice
• Powers of Ten

• I would like the PASCO track set up with DATA STUDIO operating. I will need the motion detector.

• Coordinate Systems and Vectors
•  video  - Marble and Feather
•  video  - Uniform Linear Acceleration - Time
  ( I need various cars for the track. No timers are needed. )
• Propeller Cart on Track
  (I want air track and PASCO track, but I don't need timers set up for air track. )
• Powers of Ten

• I need a racquetball and several pieces of notebook paper. I decided to wait until the following Tuesday to do another Data Studio experiment.

•  video  - Free Fall Acceleration
• Propeller Cart on Track
  (Use PASCO track instead of air track. )
• Falling Drops of Milk

• I need the PASCO motion track set up with motion cart, fan cart, motion detector and way to elevate track at end. Track should be level in beginning.

•  video  - Shoot and Drop
• Projectile Motion II
•  video  - The Monkey and the Hunter
•  video  - Range Gun

•  video  - Ballistics Cart
• Hit the Nail on the Head
•  video  - Tablecloth Pull
•  video  - Bottle and Pencil
•  video  - Hanging Masses
• Weighing
  ( I don't want the triple beam 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 of different masses, especially propeller car on which I can place masses.)
• Air Track Reaction Cars
•  video  - Newton's Sailboat
• Distortion Loops

•  video  - The Atwood Machine
  ( I need an adaptation 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

• I need a rope that I can swing around over my head that has a mass (like a ball) at the end of it. I also need a viscosity experiment with an object like a steel ball falling in a jar of oil.

•  video  - Spinning Tray
• Centripetal Force
• Centripetal Acceleration
• Rotational Dynamics

• I need the 2-m track set up high (1.5 m)so I can use the pulley and masses to pull the motion cart along. I will be doing the Newton's 1st and 2nd law ILD with Data Studio. Please have set up by 9 am so I can play with it. I also need a block of wood (3 or 4 inches on a side).

• Simple Machines

• I would like to do the Interactive Lecture Demo on Newton's 3rd Law. I will need to come in around 9 am or earlier and play with it.

• Work Done by a Compressed Spring

• Potential Energy
•  video  - Conservative System
•  video  - Pendulum with Moveable Peg
•  video  - Loop - the - Loop
• Energy Conversion and Conservation

• Interactive Lecture Demo - Energy of a Cart on a Ramp. I will come in no later than 9 am to go over this demo with Mike. I did it last year when I only took data once, but we had it set up that I could look at Graphs 1, 2, 3, and 4. It was cool!

• Reaction Cars
  ( No timers needed.)
• Fire Extinguisher Rocket Cart
• Water Rocket
•  video  - 2-Liter Bottle Rocket

• I want the computer set up so I can show the results of a previous PASCO experiment on Newton's 3rd law.
