VelocityLab works with the PocketLab sensor to measure the speed, velocity, acceleration, and position of moving objects. We built VelocityLab for curious explorers, educators, students, and makers to bring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to life like never before. Attach the PocketLab sensor to any object that rolls, then use the VelocityLab app to connect to the PocketLab sensor and setup your experiment. VelocityLab instantly streams and records data. Use VelocityLab for science experiments involving momentum, force, impulse, collisions, acceleration, and many other physics concepts. NOTE: The PocketLab app is designed to pair with a PocketLab sensor. Order your sensor at www.thepocketlab.com.
CloudLabs Free practice
Read full descriptionHide full description
In this lab you will find an air rail with two position sensors to measure the start point and end point of movement. For the development of this practice, the student will have the possibility to configure the initial position, the initial velocity and the acceleration. In addition, the simulator allows you to move the sensors along the rail to determine the points where you want to measure the movement, in order to obtain the numerical and graphical results of the movement. It is also possible to visualize the effect of the friction force on the movement by regulating the amount of air that is expelled by the rail.
