HUB 21 Mechanics and Heat

Physics Laboratory Apparatus

1. Angle Indicator – Helps you find the exact angle

measurement.

2. C- Clamp -. Used to hold light objects and to secure the

position of the object.

3. Digital Adapter - The Digital Adapter is required when

photogates, timing and counting sensors are used with any
PASPORT interface. Allows you to connect old
ULI digital sensors (photogates, radiation monitors, etc.)

4. Dynamic cart - provide sample tools to experiment with

and demonstrate the laws of dynamics.

5. Dynamics Track Systems are perfect for investigating a wide

range of concepts in physics, including Newton's Laws,
collisions, velocity and acceleration. Used to determine the
track of the dynamic cart.

6. Force Table - is designed for force and vector

demonstrations. Consists of 4 pulleys, 4 weight hangers and 4
sets of slotted weights.

7. Force Sensor - is a transducer that converts a mechanical

force input into an electrical output signal


 8. GLX Xplorer - The world's first graphing logger for science
that truly stands alone. Captures, analyzes, annotates, stores
and prints data quickly and seamlessly, without being connected
to a computer. Collect Data in the Classroom or the Field,
graphs, tables, digits, and meter displays and prints graphs and
data directly to printers.

9. Measurement set – Set of measuring devices,

10. Meter stick – a stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal

or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight
lines and measuring lengths usually in meters.

11. Micrometer caliper – commonly used in mechanical

engineering and electronics design. It is often used in
determining the exact measurements of an item such as
diameter, thickness, and length of solid bodies.

12. Motion sensor - A motion detector is a device that

detects moving objects, particularly people.

13. Photogate Head - monitors the motion of objects passing through its gate, counting events as the
object breaks the infrared beam. Its other functions are for conducting basic motion experiments,
measuring acceleration of freefall, and Measuring pendulum periods


14. Photogate Mounting Bracket – it is an accessory tool for

photogate head and projectile launcher.

15. Picket Fence – The free falling object. It is often used in

experiment of Newton’s second law of motion.

16. Projectile Ball – Used in the experiment of projectile

motion.

17. Projectile Launcher - illustrates the idea that motion in different dimensions is absolutely
independent, and used to describe the exact motion of the projectile as well .

18. Ramrod – It is often used to push the projectile up against the

propellant.

19. Set of weights - is a mathematical device used when performing a

sum, integral, or average to give some elements more "weight" or
influence on the result than other elements in the same set.

20. Super Pulley - main function is to change the

direction of the tension force in a rope. It also lessens
the amount of force we will exert.

21. Ticker Tape Timer - In physics the tape is often used in

what are generally called recording timers. These timers act as
clocks or stop watches. They make individual "tic" marks on
the paper tape at regular time intervals as the tape is pulled
through the device.

22. Time-of-Flight Accessory is designed primarily for free fall

or projectile experiments. Once the object hits its plate, it will
send a signal to the photogate to stop the timer.

23. Triple beam Balance – Often used in measuring the mass

of an object, most commonly small objects. Reading is done
by moving the slides until balance is achieved.

24. Vernier Caliper – a measuring instrument. Close the jaws

lightly so that the object can be measured.

25. Weight Hangers – It is an instrument used in measuring weights and used in hanging different
objects.
