PASCO Smart Timer Photogate System

Purpose: The PASCO Smart Timer is among the most versatile and affordable measurement tools available to physics educators. This system includes a PASCO Smart Timer and two Photogates for measuring time, speed, acceleration, and count. Key Features: - Two Photogates and one Pulley Calculates speed and acceleration, while recording time Menu-driven display with easy-to-follow flowchart instructions on the label Turn it on, plug in the photogates, and it’s ready to use The 3-section fence measures leading edge to leading edge for maximum accuracy - Can be used with the included 9V AC adapter or with 4 AA cell batteries - A switch inside the battery compartment disables the speed and acceleration modes, but continues time measurements to encourage manual calculations Educational Topics: Acceleration Due to Gravity Newton’s Second Law Conservation of Momentum in Collisions Rotational Inertia of a Disk and Ring Acceleration Down an Incline Simple Harmonic Oscillator Oscillations on an Incline Springs in Series and Parallel Projectile Motion Time-of-Flight and Initial Velocity Determining Acceleration Due to Gravity Radiation in the Geiger-Muller Tube What's Included: 2× Accessory Photogate (ME-9204B) 1× Super Pulley (ME-9450A) 1× Smart Timer (ME-8930) 1× Picket Fences (2 Pack) - Smart Timer (ME-8933) 1× 9 VAC Adapter and Lab Manual (not shown)
