Variable-g Pendulum Experiment EX-5519A Pasco Scientific |
Overview |
This experiment designed for use with PASCO Capstone software explores the dependence of the period of a simple pendulum on the acceleration due to gravity and on the length and amplitude of the pendulum. |
A simple rigid pendulum consists of a 35 cm long lightweight ( 28 g ) aluminum tube with a 150 g mass at the end, mounted on a Rotary Motion Sensor. The pendulum is constrained to oscillate in a plane tilted at an angle from the vertical. This effectively reduces the acceleration due to gravity because the restoring force is decreased. |
The period of the pendulum is measured using a Rotary Motion Sensor and the period function in PASCO Capstone. |
PASCO Advantage |
The rigid pendulum can be assumed to be a simple pendulum: The actual period is approximatley 99% of the period of a simple pendulum of the same length. |
Includes |
Large Rod Base ( ME-8735 ) |
45 cm Stainless Steel Rod ( ME-8736 ) |

Newtons Laws Experiment EX-5503A Pasco Scientific |
|
Overview | |
In this experiment designed for use with PASCO Capstone software, students use this collection of equipment to discover or experimentally determine the first of Newton's Laws. | |
Newton's First Law | Students examine an object's motion to see if it changes when forces are applied or not. |
Newton's Second Law | Students use the Smart Cart to discover the relationships between force, mass and acceleration |
Newton's Third Law | Using the force sensors from two Smart Carts, students prove that forces between objects are equal in magnitude yet opposite in direction. These experiments include both tug-of-war exercises and collisions between cars. |
PASCO Advantage | |
The Smart Cart has all the sensors required, making setup very quick and easy. The integration between the probeware and equipment helps students focus on the physics of each experiment. | |
Bluetooth 4 Connectivity | |
Required Software | |
PASCO products that use Bluetooth® 4 technology - wireless sensors, smart carts, and the AirLink Interface - require the latest versions of our software. PASCO Capstone 1.11.1 is available for Mac and Windows. SPARKvue 3.2.1 is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and Chromebooks. | |

Mechanical Waves Experiment EX-9952 Pasco Scientific |
Overview |
Standing waves in strings and air columns are studied. Using a sine wave generator to drive a string vibrator, the driving frequency, the length, density, and tension of the string are varied to explore standing waves in strings and to determine the speed of the wave. For the sound waves in the air column, a speaker is used to drive a resonance tube. The driving frequency and the length of the tube are varied for both open and closed tubes. The relationship between resonant frequency modes and tube length is determined for closed versus open tubes. |
PASCO Advantage |
The frequency of the vibration of the string is not limited to the line frequency so the frequency can be varied, as well as the length and the tension. |

Basic Current Balance SF-8607 Pasco Scientific |
Overview |
A current-carrying wire in a magnetic field experiences a counter-intuitive force that is transverse to both the wire and to the direction of the magnetic field. With the Basic Current Balance, students can perform quantitative investigations into the interaction between a current-carrying wire and a magnetic field. Vary the wire length, the current, and the magnetic field, and then measure the resulting force. |
Add the Current Balance Accessory Kit, and students can also determine how the angle between the wire and the magnetic field affects the force. With this addition, all the relevant variables can be analyzed. |
One to six magnets are mounted on an iron yoke, which is placed on a gram balance. A conductor is suspended between the magnets. The weight of the magnets and yoke is measured, then a current ( 0-5 A ) is passed through the conductor. The change in the reading of the balance ( 0-4 grams ) measures the force between the conductor and the magnetic field. |
Six conductors of different lengths are provided and can be easily changed while maintaining a repeatable position with respect to the magnetic field. The magnetic field is proportional to the number of magnets used. |
Typical Experiments |
1. Force versus Current |
2. Force versus Length of Wire |
3. Force versus Magnetic Field |
4. Force versus Angle ( Current Balance Accessory Kit needed ) |
Special Features |
Measure Force vs. Current, Wire Length, Magnetic Field and Angle |

Function Generator - PI-8127 |
|
Overview | |
The Function Generator outputs sine, square, triangle, positive and negative ramps with a frequency range of 0.001 Hz to 150 kHz in addition to DC. ( A replacement for the PI-9587C ) | |
Its powerful output, 1 Amp at ±10 Volts, makes it useful for driving speakers, string vibrators, and circuits. | |
Features | |
LCD Readout | The LCD displays frequency, voltage, current, waveform, and menus. For viewing demonstrations, there is a Large Digits Mode for increased readability of the frequency.The backlight has two levels, low and high, selectable using the menu. The low backlight isusefulin dark rooms. |
Frequency/Range Selection | There are two ranges, 0.001 to 100 Hzand 0.001 to 100 kHz, selected using the range push-button switch ( integrated with frequency knob ). |
Output Standby | Pushing the standby button disables the output without changing settings. |
Output Current/Voltage Maximum | The maximum current or maximum voltage can be set using the menu. This is useful when the instructor needs to limit the voltage applied in a light bulb. |
Offset Voltage | Any waveform may be offset with a DC voltage ranging from -10 V to +10 V, provided the peak voltage does not exceed 10 V. |
Frequency Sweep | Sweep between any two frequencies at a selectable rate. |
Available Waveforms | |
Sine | |
Triangle | |
Square | |
Positive Ramp | |
Negative Ramp | |
DC | |
Specifications | |
Input Power Source | 15 V @ 1.6 amp AC/DC Adapter |

Advanced Microwave Optics System WA-9316A |
|||
Overview | |||
The Microwave Optics Advantage | |||
To a beginning student, the relationship between a simple wave on a string and the complicated interactions of optics can be hard to grasp. PASCO's answer is microwave optics. There are advantages to studying optical phenomena at microwave frequencies. Using a 3-cm microwave wavelength radically changes the scale of the experiment. Microns become centimeters and variables obscured by the small scale of traditional optics experiments are easily seen and manipulated. PASCO's Microwave Optics System takes full advantage of these large-scale benefits. The large wavelength makes it easy to understand and visualize electromagnetic wave inter-actions. Interference and diffraction slits are several centimeters wide, and polarizers are slotted sheets of Stainless Steel. | |||
Optics and Waves | |||
Most traditional optics experiments can be performed with this Microwave Optics System: from determining the laws of reflection and refraction to investigating polarization effects to examining the phenomena of diffraction and double-slit interference. Basic wave experiments can also be performed. Students can investigate standing waves between two reflectors, locating nodes and antinodes. Combining these experiments can establish a clear parallel between electromagnetic wave interactions and mechanical wave theory. | |||
Features : | |||
Diffraction Slit Hardware -- Spacers and holders for performing interference experiments. | |||
Ethafoam® Prism with Styrene Pellets -- Used for refraction of microwaves. The index of refraction of styrene is determined. | |||
Rotating Mounts -- The transmitter and receiver rotate through a full 360° ( an important feature for polarization experiments ). | |||
Gunn Diode Transmitter -- A stable, low-voltage source of linearly polarized microwaves ( 10.5 GHz; 15 mW ). | |||
18 cm High Mounts -- Minimize tabletop reflections for improved accuracy. | |||
Receiver with a Built-in Amplifier -- Variable sensitivity ensures clear data, even for low-intensity measurements ( Bragg diffraction and Brewster's angle ). | |||
Long-Arm Goniometer -- For easy setup and alignment. The built-in degree and millimeter scales ensure accurate measurements. | |||
Magnetic Mounting -- All components mount magnetically. Setup is quick and accurate. | |||
Durable Construction -- Parts are made of stainless steel or die-cast aluminum. | |||
