Dynamic Sensor System: Vernier Software & Technology.Hardware, $249 to measure acceleration, force and altitude, then send the data to computers. It consists of a three-axis accelerometer MEMSIC Accelerometer MEMSIC's dual-axis thermal accelerometer works conceptually like the air bubble in a construction level. The square in the middle of the chip is a resistor that heats up a gas bubble. The next larger squares contain thermal couples that sense the location of the heated bubble as the device is tilted or accelerated. (Image courtesy of MEMSIC, Inc.), force sensor and altimeter altimeter (ăltĭm`ĭtər, ăl`tĭmē'tər), device for measuring altitude. The most common type is an aneroid barometer calibrated to show the drop in atmospheric pressure in terms of linear elevation as an airplane, balloon, or mountain climber rises. built into one unit. It can be used to study pendulum forces, roller coaster physics and dynamics with cart and track experiments or even measure acceleration fore e and altitude in outdoor sports such as skateboarding, hiking, skiing or bungee jumping. It's compatible with Windows XP SP2 SP2 - Service Pack 2 SP2 - Signal Processor 2 (4ESS) SP2 - Sky Sports 2 (UK TV channel) SP2 - Steam Propulsionman Second Class (USN rating), Macintosh OS X 10.3 or newer versions and requires a Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled computer. www.vernier.com |
