Subject: Regents Physics
High School: George Westinghouse High School
Laboratory Experiments Developed:
(1) Experiment on Stability: Sliding and Overturning – A force sensor is used to pull on a wooden block until the block tips or slides. Emphasis is on Newton’s Laws of motion, friction, and an introduction to moments. |
(2) Experiment on Drag Force - An ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the velocity of free falling coffee filter(s) and to show that the filter reaches a terminal velocity due to air resistance. |
(3) Experiment on Speed of Sound - A microphone is placed near an open end of a hollow closed-ended tube to detect the time it takes sound to travel from the open end to the closed end, and then back. |
(4) Newton’s Law of Cooling – A temperature probe is used to explore heat transfer phenomenon between hot water and air. Newton’s cooling model is used to predict the temperature of cooling water at any given time. |
