The Cart Picket Fence can be used with a photogate to measure distance, velocity and acceleration vs. time. Cart Picket Fence (PF-CART) Using a Vernier (BTD) Photogate Photogate (VPG-BTD) With Logger Pro 3: 1) Connect the photogate. 2) Choose your ...

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,...

A photogate can be used to simply count blocking events. This is useful for counting the number of rotations of a wind generator or motor or for counting events in an animal behavior experiment. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING A VERNIER (BTD) PHTOTGATE Photo...
