Probe of the
Month - Newly Designed Force Sensor with Free Lesson Plan Download
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new Force
sensor featured in this month's newsletter is a very popular dual range
probe, capable of measuring both pushing and pulling forces. The two
ranges are ±10N or ±50N. The sensor can easily be mounted on a ring
stand or dynamics cart, or used instead of a hand-held spring scale.
We've improved the probe's design by moving the switch button, which
adjusts the range, to a more user-friendly location.

Typical
experiments for the Force sensor in Physics include: Hook's Law,
Frictional Forces, Force on a Dynamic Car, Simple Harmonic Motion and
also Force and Impulse during Collision. This month we're offering a
free download of an experiment with Newton's Third Law - for every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Teacher Query of
the Month - Why does Fourier not offer USB Sensors?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fourier
does not offer USB sensors for several reasons. First and most importantly,
USB technology actually limits the range of functionality of the sensor
due to limitations in bandwidth available to USB ports. Also of great
importance is the fact that USB sensors are more expensive due to the
need to add include a USB driver in each sensor that will allow it work
in a USB port. Finally, using a USB sensor in a computer limits the
teachers and teachers in creating a mobile classroom and moving the
classroom outdoors.
