Demo Accelerometers
Each of these 3 devices can be used to show acceleration; they each have characteristics that show better in different situations and used in some quantitative manner to compare relative values of acceleration.
- Electric lights add up quantiratively with acceleration
- Colored liquid in plastic splashes to one side with inertia to indicate presence and direction of acceleration.
- Golf tees are spaced to indicate equal times as cart moves, spacing of tees indicates presence, direction and approximate amount of acceleration.
