By means of air resistance (also called drag), parachute helps the pilot drift to the ground slowly and safely. That is attributed to the drag counteracting free falling initiated by gravity acceleration. To meet this purpose, a comprehensive experiment kit features several characteristic are proposed: (1) experimental gravity acceleration might be figured out using a photogate timer to measure the falling velocity of object at both different heights. (2) According to the period recorded by photogate timer and the length of pendulum, the experimental gravity acceleration can also be determined.
Objectives
- The period of simple pendulum is measured by photogate timer in order to study the phenomena of isochronism.
- The velocity of free-falling object is measured by photogate timer, so the user can estimate the acceleration of gravity.
- The elastic coefficient of spring can be calculated on Hooke’s Law.
Features
- Using magnetic adherence avoids operational error.
- Adjusting the length of pendulum by double screws makes periodic swing oscillation become more stable.
