Questions I have: Would the vernier student force sensor work? Would the dual-range force sensor work? If I could measure the force how could I vary the mass of the puck to determine the relationship between force and mass?
After tonight's reading and today's discussion about our UCM lab tomorrow it caused me to remember something I wanted to do this past year but I didn't have the time to do it. The traditional rubber-stopper lab (hit-yourself in the head lab) always gives poor results. I can't afford the $300 sophisticated vernier equipment (spinning track). After asking if anyone had tried to do video analysis with the hit-yourself-in-the-head lab, Rob said that he had done it with his AP Physics class and although it gave good results for him he said that he wouldn't recommend doing it with first year physics students. How about doing video analysis with an air puck? I wonder if anyone has done that.
