Short time interval measurement, motion experiments, pendulum timing, reaction time and speed analysis
Time, speed, velocity, acceleration, reaction time, frequency, period, precision, experimental error
About This Product
Students set up the event to be timed, start the motion and read the interval, then repeat the measurement several times and take the average to reduce error. The averaged times are used to calculate speed, acceleration, frequency or the period of a pendulum.
