Physics 2305 Laboratory Equipment List    
Lab 9: RTP 12 - Conservation of Energy

 

Transition notes:

  1. Leave out the track, motion detector, mass set, and 50 gram mass hanger.
  2. Remove the force probe from the Collision cart and use it on the vertical support. the collision cart will be used in the lab.
  3. Put away Dynamic cart with the force sensor still attached and the cart masses.

Equipment list:

  1. Pasco 750 Lab interface with the following sensors:
    • Motion Detector (yellow DG1, black DG2) (C1.1)
    • Force probe (C3.2) attached to vertical support as shown in figure 1 (Analog A)
  2. Pasco 2.2 m track (T2) (elevation clamp on 45 cm rod (A1), small Universal clamp (C20.4) to table)
  3. Pasco collision cart with friction pad (C2.1)
  4. Angle indicator for track (C6.2)
  5. Light weight spring from Pasco track kit. (C6.2)
  6. Mass set (1-10, 2-20, 2-50,1-100,2-200,1-500 gram) (C10.1)
  7. 50 gram weight holder (C10.2)
  8. Sail for bottom of hanging weight (10” x 10 “) (C6.1)
  9. Electronic Balance (1000g) (A3.3)
  10. Vertical support for force probe

Notes and tests:

  1. Start the test file “2305_Lab9_RTP12_test1.ds”.   Move a hand in front of the Motion Sensor and push and the force probe. They should register on the graph.
  2. It is important that there be a screw in the force probe to secure it to its support.
  3. Flip the small universal clamp and a greater angle can be achieved.
  4. Make sure all carts have friction pads.
