Students will apply their knowledge of physical science concepts to create a lunar lander game using Scratch. They will use Vernier force and acceleration sensors to understand forces and integrate ...

This force will cause the cart to accelerate—in this case, to the left, or the opposite way it was heading, which is why it slows down during impact and even reverses direction. But what is the ...

Micromechanical combo sensor with six degrees of freedom and three measurement axis. SensorDynamics, a producer of one-dimensional and multidimensional inertial and wireless sensors for the automotive ...

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

Sensors are all around. They are in automatic doors, at cash registers, in doctors’ offices and hospitals. They are used inside the body and outside. Sensors detect aspects of the physical world – ...

Everyone should probably know that I'm obsessed with both physics and smart phones. If I can use my phone for a physics experiment, I'm good to go. That's exactly what I am going to do right now—use ...

The controller area network (CAN) bus is a reliable, real-time communication protocol and remains the backbone of modern ...
