Physics with CBL
by John Gastineau, Ken Appel, Clarence Bakken, Richard Sorensen, and David VernierWe are very excited about our new Physics with CBL book. Students will enjoy doing these physics experiments using the versatile and portable CBL™. It is especially exciting for us, because it completes the sequence of books we started producing several years ago. We now have a Biology with CBL, Chemistry with CBL, Physical Science with CBL, and Physics with CBL. Physics with CBL includes most of the experiments in our Physics with Computers book, with some extra labs that take advantage of the portability of the CBL. There are 34 experiments in all. We use motion detectors, force sensors, photogates, microphones, magnetic field sensors, light sensors, voltage probes, accelerometers, and current and voltage probes. Like all of our other books, Physics with CBL includes disks with the word processing files of the student handouts. This means you can edit the experiments and change them if you choose. The disks also include our PHYSICS program for the TI-82, TI-83, TI-86, TI-89, and TI-92. Any of these calculators can be used for Physics with CBL labs. Some of the experiments in Physics with CBL are:
- Ball Toss
- Newton’s Second Law
- Bungee Jump Accelerations
- Centripetal Accelerations on a Turntable
- Simple Harmonic Motion
- Accelerations in the Real World
- Impulse and Momentum
- Speed of Sound
- Magnetic Field in a Coil
- Electrical Energy
Order Code: PWCBL, $35.00
