Vernier Photogate (VPG-BTD)
The Vernier Photogate (shipped since mid-June 2003) has the necessary technology for auto-ID. It can most easily be identified by the white BTD port on the arm of the photogate. (...
Yes, a Vernier photogate and Vernier Time of Flight Pad can be used together to measure the acceleration due to gravity.
You will calculate the acceleration due to gravity using the standard kinematics equation h = 1/2gt^2,
where h is the height, g ...

One possible cause for a high initial velocity is the detection of the leading edge of the picket fence as it passes through a photogate. This is likely to happen if the edge of picket fence is marked or scratched from repeated drops or improper stor...
There are a few reasons you might want to collect data with both a Motion Encoder and a photogate at the same time. One example is for studying collisions. Since the Dynamics Cart and Track System with Motion Encoder comes with only one Encoder Cart,...
