Transition notes:
- Leave out the track, dynamics (plunger) cart, mass set (used two labs later but not in the way), angle indicator, and force sensor.
- Put away the large table clamp, RMS, pulley, 2.5m string, spring scale, springs, and 90cm rod
- Take off and put away friction pads.
- Remove the force sensor from the bumper bracket and screw it onto the collision cart. You may need to remove the screw from the cart to do so.
- Sweepy sweepy the tables
- The only additions from what is left from the previous lab are: Collision Cart, cart masses, clay, and ruler.
- The bumper accessory will need to be moved and attached to the right and back side of the track.
Equipment List:
- 850 Interface with:
- Force Probe (Analog A):
- With a Force Probe Hook on the front
- And 2 x BrassPosts on top
- Mounted on the Smart Cart - Red (Plunger Cart)
- Force Probe (Analog B):
- With a Rubber Bumper
- Mounted on the Smart Cart - Blue
- Cart Track
- Elevation Clamp on the left side clamped to the 45cm Rod sitting in a [Medium Clamp not yet in JSON File]
- Angle Indicator attached with a Short Track Thumb Screw
- Hanging Mass Set with the following masses:
- 1 x 10g Mass
- 2 x 20g Mass
- 2 x 50g Mass
- 1 x 100g Mass
- 2 x 200g Mass
- 1 x 500g Mass
- Bumper Accessory Bracket with the following accessories:
- Attached to the track with 2 30 cm ruler
- Heavy Spring with
- Rubber Stopper #1 in it
- Clay Holder
- 2 x Rubber Bumper
- 30 cm ruler
- 2 balls of Clay in a ziptop bag
- 2 Cart Mass - 250 g
- 2 Cart Mass - 500 g
- Scale
Notes and tests:
- The Bumper Accessory needs to be placed on the right side of the track (that is opposite the elevation clamp).
- The motion detector needs to be on the left side of the track since it is not effective behind the bumper accessory.
- Make sure that each of the bumper accessory kits is complete. Put the heavy spring with stopper in the front position.
- Put one of the small bumpers on the collision cart force sensor, and the clay holder cup on the dynamics cart force sensor.
- Screw the hooks from the force sensors onto the bumper accessory.
- Start “2305 Lab 7 test.cap” from the test files folder. Move a cart in front of the Motion Sensor and push/pull on both of the force probes. They should register on the graph.
- No friction pads are used in this lab.
