Rotary Motion Accessory Pack

This kit of accessories extends the use of the Rotary Motion sensor and comprises:
 

• The Pendulum Rod - an aluminium rod with two adjustable ring masses and fixing screw. Can be used with or without the masses to perform pendulum and rotational inertia investigations.
• The Angular Momentum disc set - two aluminium discs. Used to study rotational inertia and conservation of angular momentum.
• The Linear Rack - a 250 mm plastic rack with mini c-clamp. Used to measure linear motion for the length of the rack for accurate displacement measurements. The c-clamp is for attaching a SmartQ Sensor to the rack so the position of the sensor can be recorded as it is moved in an investigation e.g. the Light sensor in a Young's single and double slit experiments or a Magnetic Field sensor while plotting field strength versus distance.
   

More information can be found in the user manual available from the Resources tab.

Activities

Physics:

• Pendulum studies
• Conservation of angular momentum
• Rotational inertia – using the discs
• Circular movement – using the discs
• Linear motion – using the linear rack and Light sensor e.g. inverse square law

Chemistry and Biology:

• Linear movement e.g. gas syringe plunger movement
