<strong>Phys</strong>ics Labs with Computers, Vol. 1<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Workbook</strong>P01: Position and Time 012-07000APART I: Computer Setup1. Connect the ScienceWorkshop interface to thecomputer, turn on the interface, and turn on thecomputer.2. Connect the stereo phone plugs of the MotionSensor to Digital Channels 1 and 2 on theinterface. Connect the yellow plug to DigitalChannel 1 and the other plug to Digital Channel2.3.

Read the instructions in the <strong>Workbook</strong>.• The ScienceWorkshop document has a Graph display of Position versus Time.• The Graph shows Position and Time values that were entered into the Graph.• Data recording is set to stop automatically at 10 seconds. In the DataStudio file there is athree-second ‘countdown’ before data recording begins.PART II: Sensor Calibration and Equipment Setup• You do not need to calibrate the Motion Sensor.1. Mount the Motion Sensoron a support rod so that itis aimed at yourmidsection when you arestanding in front of thesensor. Make sure that youcan move at least 2 metersaway from the MotionSensor.2. Position the computermonitor so you can see thescreen while you moveaway from the MotionSensor.TointerfaceTableBase andsupport rodMotionSensorUnderstanding Motion 1: Position and Time• You will be moving backwards for part of this activity. Clear the area behind you for atleast 2 meters (about 6 feet).p. 2 ©1999 PASCO scientific P01
