Applied Physics Learning Activities
Find nstruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.

Jolly Logic Altimeter
Supplier: JOLLY LOGIC
A rechargeable digital altimeter (for model rockets only) that analyzes flight altitude, acceleration, top speed, flight duration and 6 other important flight statistics.
The AltimeterTwo retains the rugged design, easily-readable LCD, small size, and rechargeability of the AltimeterOne. With the addition of a 3-axis accelerometer and a 4X speed increase in processing speed, it can provide a full suite of important flight statistics that can help you analyze and improve your rocket’s performance.
AltimeterTwo has been approved by the National Association of Rocketry for use in rocketry competitions.
Features:
Highly accurate 19-bit barometric pressure sensor can detect altitude changes of less than one foot
Sunlight-readable LCD display displays maximum flight altitude
History feature stores last 100 flights
Advanced rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery lasts for hundreds of launches
Recharges in less than 2 hours from any standard USB port, no cable necessary!
Highly accurate pressure sampling 25 times/second
Power button turns device ON/OFF and RESETs the display between flights
Automatically powers down to conserve power
Handy tether point allows secure attachment, or independent streamer recovery
Rugged ABS construction to survive crashes
“Current Altitude Mode” displays current altitude in real-time

Rolling Friction Car Kit
Supplier: EISCO SCIENTIFIC LLC
The rolling friction car kit provides four cars for exploration into the force of friction. Each car provides a set of different material wheels (wood, fabric, soft rubber, soft silicone) with a different coefficient of friction. By setting the cars in motion with equivalent velocities, one can qualitatively demonstrate the frictional properties of rolling without slipping.
