Note: Experiments that incorporate both traditional and computerized instruction are denoted with a "TI/CI" abbreviation. In some instances, the TI and CI components are not the same, so the title for each component is listed separately. The "GL" abbreviation precedes experiments that feature a Guided-Learning format. Experiments without an accompanying abbreviation only involve traditional instruction. Experiments available in bound volume: 1. Experimental Uncertainty (Error) and Data Analysis. 2. Measurement Instruments (Mass, Volume, and Density). 3. (GL) The Scientific Method: The Simple Pendulum. 4. (TI-GL/CI) Uniformly Accelerated Motion (Includes TI free-fall spark timer apparatus method at end of experiment). 5. The Addition and Resolution of Vectors: The Force Table. 6. (TI-GL/CI) Newton's Second Law: The Atwood Machine. 7. (TI/CI) Conservation of Linear Momentum. 8. (GL) Projectile Motion: The Ballistic Pendulum. 9. Centripetal Force. 10. (TI/CI) Friction. 11. (GL) Work and Energy. 12. (GL) Torques, Equilibrium, and Center of Gravity. 13. (GL) Simple Machines: Mechanical Advantage. 14. (TI/CI) Simple Harmonic Motion. 15. Standing Waves in a String. 16. The Thermal Coefficient of Linear Expansion. 17. Specific Heats of Metals. 18. Archimedes' Principle: Buoyancy and Density. 19. Fields and Equipotentials. 20. (TI/CI) Ohm's Law. 21.

Reseña del editor

This market-leading manual for the first-year physics laboratory course offers a wide range of class-tested experiments designed specifically for use in small to mid-size lab programs. A series of integrated experiments emphasizes the use of computerized instrumentation and includes a set of "computer-assisted experiments" to allow students and instructors to gain experience with modern equipment. This option also enables instructors to determine the appropriate balance between traditional and computer-based experiments for their courses. By analyzing data through two different methods, students gain a greater understanding of the concepts behind the experiments. The Seventh Edition is updated with the latest information and techniques involving state-of-the-art equipment, and a new Guided Learning feature addresses the growing interest in guided-inquiry pedagogy. Fourteen additional experiments are also available through custom printing.
