This demonstration is about acceleration
vs velocity. What does constant motion vs accelerated motion
do to the liquid?
Used in Lab:
This
item is NOT used in any lab experiments.
Equipment:
- Liquid
Accelerometer
Location:
Demo Rm Shelf U
- Cart

Setup Instructions:
- Put the accelerometer on the cart, cart on the track. OR
