Description
The Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor measures angle, angular velocity, and angular acceleration, as well as their linear equivalents. The included three-step pulley allows different torques to be applied, rotating a rigid system at different rates of acceleration. The included rod-mounting holes let you orient the sensor for different experiments. The Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor connects directly to your devices via Bluetooth or USB.
Applications
- Conservation of Angular Momentum
- Rotational Inertia
- Centripetal Acceleration
- Torque
