Peer reviewedSaitoh, A. – Physics Education, 1986
Describes an apparatus for an experiment on winding motion in three dimensions. Discusses theory and provides a calculation example. (JM)
Descriptors: Laboratory Experiments, Motion, Physics, Science Activities
Peer reviewedClack, Jhules A. M.; Toepker, Terrence P. – Physics Teacher, 1990
Describes an experiment demonstrating Lenz's law by measuring a magnet falling through a copper tube compared to a nonmagnet falling. Presents diagrams and pictures showing the apparatus. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Interfaces, Laboratory Equipment, Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedGoldberg, Fred M. – Physics Teacher, 1975
Describes an out-of-doors, partially unstructured experiment to determine the coefficient of friction for a moving car. Presents the equation which relates the coefficient of friction to initial velocity, distance, and time and gives sample computed values as a function of initial speed and tire pressure. (GS)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Laboratory Experiments, Measurement
Peer reviewedJones, Evan; Urone, P. Peter – Physics Teacher, 1976
Describes a rocket propulsion demonstration utilizing a child's wagon and a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. (CP)
Descriptors: Demonstrations (Educational), Force, Laboratory Experiments, Mechanics (Physics)
Peer reviewedJohnson, P. B.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1974
Utilizes a rotating table and strobe photographs to provide students with a direct record for quantitatively analyzing rotational effects. (GS)
Descriptors: College Science, Equipment, Laboratory Experiments, Measurement
Peer reviewedBarnes, George – American Journal of Physics, 1974
Descriptors: Acoustics, College Science, Equipment, Laboratory Experiments
Peer reviewedCorrado, L. C. – Physics Teacher, 1974
Describes an easily-implemented experiment in which a moderately complex relation between dependent and independent variables is involved. (Author/GS)
Descriptors: College Science, Energy, Graphs, Laboratory Experiments
Peer reviewedSmith, Robert D. – Physics Teacher, 1975
Describes a method of time-of-flight determination utilizing a sound-actuated switch, an electronic flash, and a loaded camera. (GS)
Descriptors: Laboratory Experiments, Motion, Photographic Equipment, Physics
Peer reviewedMogill, A. T. – Physics Teacher, 1975
Describes a calibration technique for a small motor which, when driven as a generator, can be used for a speedometer. The generator output can be fed to an oscilloscope to provide a sweep in which the vertical axis is velocity and the horizontal axis, time. (GS)
