ZC0016 Photogate measures the time of light blocking and hence calculate the speed, acceleration, momentum, kinetic, cycle and other common physical quantities of dynamic.
Specification
| Range | 0~∞s |
| Resolution | 1μs |
| Accuracy | ±1μs |
Usage
1. Connect the sensor to computer by USB cable.
2. Open the SWR iLab v8.0. Select datalogger: Easy in setup.
3. Click 'New' to create new experimental template.
Notes
- Photogate A can be used individually but Photogate B must be used with Photogate A.
- When using two sensors, be clear with two sensors and do not mix Photogate A and B.
Typical experiment
Explore the freely-falling body motion
Explore the uniform accelerated motion
Explore the centripetal force
