Product Information

"See" Acceleration
Our Visual Accelerometer is a major advance in teaching the concept of acceleration. It actually shows the acceleration of a dynamics cart, a free falling body, an auto ... anything you attach it to. Ten high-intensity wide-angle LEDs indicate the magnitude and direction of acceleration for more effective learning. Our Visual Accelerometer is also a PASPORT sensor. Connect it to a Link or Xplorer and graph acceleration real-time on the computer.
Three ranges cover activities from elevator acceleration to freefall to a sharp turn in a car.
Auto scale and peak-hold for maximum sensitivity and accelerations too quick for the eye to see. Zero (tare) button negates the effect of sensor orientation.
Typical Applications:
-Measure acceleration during simple harmonic motion
-Measure acceleration due to gravity
-Discover the acceleration of an elevator
-Measure acceleration of a pendulum
Specifications and Special Features:
-Range: ±1 m/s2 (0.1g) to ±20 m/s2 (2g) in three ranges with 0.2 m/s2 accuracy and 0.01 m/s2 resolution
-Auto scale sets full-scale range to last measurement
-Peak hold stores highest reading
-Case has ties for pendulum motion and a pass-through so the sensor can be thrown vertically along a rope
The PASCO Visual Accelerometer Accessory Kit allows mounting the PASPORT Visual Accelerometer in various configurations. With the kit, the accelerometer can be mounted to a rod stand, which provides the best results when using it inside a moving reference frame, such as a car or an elevator. The kit also allows the accelerometer to be used as a pendulum. The kit's four string pendulum plate keeps the accelerometer level as it oscillates, showing its horizontal acceleration.
Accessory Kit Includes:
-Four string pendulum plate
-Plastic rod clamps (2)
-M-5 mounting thumbscrews (2)
-1/4-20 thumbscrews with nuts (4)
-Roll of thread
