Introduction: Physics Mechanics Labs is a set of ten simulated computer labs that students can run on any PC. All labs include lab write-ups in both Word and PDF format that can be copied and handed out to students and a lab answer key with sample data, graphs, and question answers. Some labs are completed by students almost completely on the computer and the final lab results can be printed out. As one example, in the Terminal Velocity lab simulation, students drop balls of different materials down a tube, triggering two photo-gate timers. By moving the bottom photo-gate, they measure the time at several distances along the tube and can calculate the final velocity at thesel locations. By making a graph of velocity versus time, they can see how the balls approach a terminal velocity. Students must drag and drop each ball, being careful not to break the top photo-gate, not drop the ball too far above the tube, and not hit the sides of the tube. Limitations: · 15 days trial
