Key Features
Digital display for reading time intervals
Display reset to zero before each run
Connects to sensors, gates or other external connections when the set-up needs them
Used for speed, acceleration, frequency and time period work
About This Product
A digital timer cuts out the reaction-time error of hand timing, so repeated runs give closer results. Students use the readings to calculate speed and acceleration on a track, the period of a pendulum, free-fall times and simple reaction-time tests.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which experiments is the Digital Timer used for?
