Acceleration Sensor consists of a square-shaped probe (built-in sensing element) and adapter. They are connected by a light cable. Fix the square-shaped probe on the object to be measured and it will be able to measure the acceleration which point in front of the probe during motion.
Specification
| Range | -6g~+6g |
| Resolution | 0.01g |
| Accuracy | ± 1% F.S |
Usage
1.Connect the Acceleration Sensor to computer by USB cable.2.Open the SWR iLab V8.0 software.
3.Click 'New' to create new experimental template.
Notes
- The measured acceleration has directivity. Be careful with that.
- Zero the sensor before every measuring to ensure the accuracy.
- Minimize the effect from light cable.
- You can add the weight of object to be measured because of mass of light cable to improve the accuracy.
- Fix the square-shaped probe during using because it is only able to sense one direction. Make sure the probe is aiming the same direction as motion.
Typical experiment
- Explore Newton's law of motion
- Explore centripetal acceleration
- Explore resonance phenomenon
- Explore the simple harmonic motion on vertical direction
- Explore damped vibration
