Feature

●The Photogate provides a simple, instant, and direct measurement of speed without the need of a connection to another device such as a computer or data logger. The BeeSpi V Photogate uses advanced light gate technology to measure, speed, lap time, and cumulative lap time with using one timer. By adding a second timer, acceleration can be calculated.
●The memory function allows you to save up to 5 sets of measured data.
●The Photogate is very efficient and requires little time to set-up, which spares that time for analysis of the experiments results.
●The student gains a better understanding of relevant topics because the students can calculate and produce graphs based on the experiments results.
●Law of energy conservation can easily be demonstrated and confirmed because direct measurement of an object’s velocity is possible. The formula of “mgh=1/2 mv2” can be proven when measuring the velocity of a pendulum at the lowest point.
