Five Reasons to Select PASCO Sensors for AP* Physics
1. Tough, polycarbonate cases: Our sensor cases are tough
and resist abuse.
5
7
6
2. Rugged connectors: Other sensor connectors can be fragile.
But PASCO’s large connectors are extremely rugged and
cannot be inserted incorrectly, making them ideal for student use!
3. Fully digital: Each fully digital sensor includes its own
analog-to-digital converter and signal processing electronics.
The result is better, cleaner data and a wider range of
measurements.
4. MultiMeasure Sensors: PASCO offers over 20 MultiMeasure
sensors. Because they are digital, we can put several sensors
into one box, which means fewer cords and easier lab
management. For example, our three-axis accelerometer
and altimeter come in one package with just one cord.
5. Our sensor bundle works hand-in-hand with the

Discover Freefall System
ME-9827
ME-9889
This set allows students to investigate the relationship
between the force applied to a spring and the amount of
stretch on the spring.
As a force is applied to the spring by
placing mass on the hanger, the spring
stretches. Students can graph the applied
force vs. spring stretch. The slope of
this graph is the spring constant of the
spring. The vertical intercept shows the
initial force needed to begin stretching
the spring.
PASCO’s Discover Freefall System can be used to drop almost
any small object by attaching a small steel washer with a small
adhesive pad (both are included in the system). Using an electric switch, timing is started automatically, just as the object is
dropped. And the Time-of-Flight Pad stops timing when the object
strikes it.

During a bench press, the weight lifter accelerates and
then decelerates the weights. The acceleration is zero at
the top of the lift where the weights are held at rest. This
graph shows the resultant acceleration calculated from all
three axes, so the orientation of the sensor does not affect
the measurement. The acceleration due to gravity has been
