Name

Functions/ Description

Ruler

Used to measure distances or to rule straight lines. The ruler is a straightedge which may also contain calibrated lines to measure distances.

Meter Stick

A measuring stick one meter long that is marked off in centimeters and usually millimeters

Steel Tape/ Measure Tape

Triple Beam Balance

Spring Balance

A flexible ruler. Its design allows for a measure of great length to be easily carried in pocket or toolkit and permits one to measure around curves or corners.

Measures the mass and not the weight of an object. It doesn't rely on gravitational force.

A device in which an object is to be made is attached to the end of a helical spring, the extension of which indicates the weight of the object on a calibrated scale.

Name

Functions/Description

Top Loading Balance

A digital instrument that is used to measure the mass of an object. It consists of a metal plate to place the object and a digital read out the measures in the S.I. unit gram.

Vernier Caliper

Micrometer Caliper

Measurement Set

Set of Masses

Dynamics Cart

Dynamics Track

A precision instrument that can be used to measure internal and external distances extremely accurately.

Measures the thickness or the diameter of relatively small parts; it produces finer results than a vernier caliper.

A set of measuring materials that determines the value of some quantity in of a standard unit.

Comes in different weight and types that helps in weight determination

Used to demonstrate the laws of dynamics.

Used in investigating a wide range of concepts in physics, including Newton's Laws, collisions, velocity and acceleration.

Name Xplorer GLX

Functions/Description A portable graphing data logger, perfect for real-time data collection and analysis in the classroom or in the field. Provides convenient and powerful data collection, display and analysis -- even without a computer

Force Sensor

Can measure force between almost any two surfaces and are durable enough to stand up to most environments.

Force Table

Designed for force and vector demonstrations. Consists of 4 pulleys, 4 weight hangers and 4sets of slotted weights

Mass Hanger

Helps in creating any desired amount of mass An instrument used in measuring weights and used in hanging different objects.

Super Pulley

Main function is to change the direction of the tension force in a rope. It also lessens the amount of force we will exert.

Protractor Used for measuring angles in degrees.

Digital Adapter

Drawing

Required when photogates, timing and counting sensors are used with any PASPORT interface. Allows you to connect old ULI digital sensors (photogates, radiation monitors, etc.)

Name

Functions/Description

Projectile Launcher

Illustrates the idea that motion indifferent dimensions is absolutely independent, and used to describe the exact motion of the projectile as well

Picket Fence

The free falling object. It is often used in experiment of Newton’s second law of motion.

Photogate Head

Monitors the motion of objects ing through its gate, counting events as the object breaks the infrared beam.

Universal Table Clamp

Used to hold light objects and to secure the position of the object

Tape Timer

Act as clocks or stop watches. They make individual "tic" marks on the paper tape at regular time intervals as the tape is pulled through the device.

Paper Tape

A narrow paper tape which can be ed through printing devices that place symbols ranging from simple dots to alpha-numeric symbols.

Photogate Port

A port attached to the photogate

Time of Flight Accessory

Angle Indicator

Designed primarily for free fall or projectile experiments. Once the object hits its plate, it will send a signal to the photogate to stop the timer.

Helps you find the exact angle measurement.

Motion Sensor A device that detects moving objects, particularly people.

Friction Block

Friction Board

Develops the relationship between the surface smoothness and the force of friction, static and kinetic friction, coefficient of friction and the equations for sliding friction.

A heavy compressed impregnated solid board used for making pulleys usually by cutting.

Equal Arm Balance A balance in which the distances from the point of of the balance-arm beam to the two pans at the end of the beam are equal.

UCM Kit A kit that determines the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed
