An automatic device for studying motions is described in this paper. The device consists of a dynamics cart carrying a phototransistor that receives the light reflected by a sheet of paper whit black and white stripes, on which the cart perpendicularly moves. […]
A Wheatstone bridge with digital readout system is discussed and used to measure the temperature coefficient of various types of resistors. The system could also be considered as a linear responsivity thermometer. […]
The inclined plane is used to evaluate, on the basis of. energy conservation, a moment of inertia. In a first step the coefficient of rolling friction is found; finally, using simple experimental equipment the purpose is achieved. […]
A simple interface, performing measurements of electrical resistance by evaluating the length of a pulse with computer on-line is described. The circuit is particularly simple so that it can be discussed even with pupils of the second year of secondary school, […]
By connecting to an Australian university lab ( http://netlab.unisa.edu.au) two Italian last-year highschool classes work with electric circuits in real time and in remote. The description of one of the activities shows the diverse interesting learning advantages offered by this kind of far away real time experimenting […]
