6.3 Velocity
6.3.1 One gate
Measures the velocity between entering and exiting the 1
st
(A) photogate. The
calculation is done assuming that the moving object width is 3cm. Use the
3cm motion card for all velocity and acceleration measurements.
6.3.2 Two gates
Measures the velocity in both photogates and Timer displays the velocities
alternately. Use this mode for collision experiments with one or two carts. The
calculation is done assuming that the moving object width is 3cm. Use the
3cm motion card.
6.3.3 Smart pulley
Measures velocity of a string tangent to the pulley.
The pulley has 10 slits, and the attached photogate monitors the pulley
rotations.
6.4 Acceleration
6.4.1 Two gates
Measures the average acceleration of an object between two photogates.
