9B15.00Position and Velocity Detectors
9B15.10kinematics instrumentation7-1.8Motors, plotters, electronics, etc. to show simultaneous correlation between actual displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Diagrams and pictures.
9B15.11ladder of lightAJP 42(5),409Reflect a beam across an air track many times and record the output of a audioamp.
9B15.12air track velocity meterAJP 40(1),202A capacitor is charged while a light beam is blocked.
9B15.13air track timing circuitAJP 56(10),950A circuit that interfaces five digital stop watches to five gates on the air track.
9B15.14mechanical start-stop gatesAJP 48(8),685Mechanical gates instead of photogates control relays which in turn can control something else.
9B15.15model race track kinematicsAJP 52(3),281Twenty optical sensors with an Apple computer interface are attached to a model race track to give successive time intervals.
9B15.15distributed infrared detectorAJP 56(8),739Forty-six permanently mounted emitter-detector pairs are interfaced to a computer.
9B15.16multitimer air track systemAJP 48(1),85Photoelectric sensors combined with solid state memories store a sequence of time intervals which are then transferred to a digital display.
9B15.16multiphotogate timer systemAJP 55(11),1050A multiprocessor based multiphotogate array system that allows the time interval between any set of gates to be displayed by selecting from a keyboard.
9B15.16air track multitimerAJP 50(4),381As the air cart passes along a tape with holes, a light beam is transmitted to a photodetector. A circuit is given to store and read out the timing information.
9B15.20ultrasonic ranging module interfaceAJP 54(10),894Interface the TI sonar ranging module to an Apple II through the game port.
9B15.21two glider ultrasonic rangingAJP 55(7),658Modification of the Western and Crummett system (AJP 54,894) to accommodate two gliders.
9B15.22corner reflectors with sonic detect.TPT 28(6)423Simple corner reflectors eliminate alignment problems with reflectors.
9B15.28air track doppler radarAJP 45(8),711A homodyne Doppler velocimeter with two parallel explanations.
9B15.28air track doppler radarAJP 35(2),159Use X-band radar for air track velocity measurements.
9B15.29air track ultrasonic dopplerAJP 44(9),879Ultrasonic Doppler shift measurement of the velocity of an air track glider.
9B15.30air track glider positionAJP 53(1),86Ferrite magnets on the air track glider pass by a wire bent into a square wave and the induced pulses are shaped and then recorded by a microcomputer.
9B15.31induction transducer position sensorAJP 50(1),84A triangular shaped coil is used in an induction system.
9B15.32air track induction speedometerAJP 41(3),419Magnets mounted on the air cart pass on both sides of a long squarewave shaped copper wire that goes to an amplifier and oscilloscope.
9B15.35air track inductive recorderAJP 43(4),375A container of fine iron particles in suspension on the cart moves past microphones attached to a tape recorder.
9B15.40air track timerAJP 37(3),327Circuit for a timer that reads out a voltage proportional to the speed of an object.
9B15.50y-t air track recorderAJP 36(1),61A roll of spark paper is used to obtain y-t records of an air track.
