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 accelerometer Instrument that measures acceleration. Because it is difficult to measure acceleration directly, the device measures the force exerted by restraints placed on a reference mass to hold its position fixed in an accelerating body. , 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, 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 bungee jumping Sport in which the jumper falls from a high place with a rubber (“bungee”) cord attached both to his or her feet and to the jump site, and, after a period of headfirst free fall, is bounced partway back when the cord rebounds from its maximum . It's compatible with Windows XP SP2, Macintosh OS X 10.3 or newer versions and requires a Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled computer. www.vernier vernier (vûr`nēr), auxiliary scale, either straight or an arc of a circle, designed to slide along a fixed scale. Its unit divisions, usually smaller than those on the fixed scale, permit a far more precise reading. .com |
