A Harmonic Motion Experiment
Gluck, P.; Krakower, Zeev
Physics Education, v45 n6 p611-616 Nov 2010
We present a unit comprising theory, simulation and experiment for a body oscillating on a vertical spring, in which the simultaneous use of a force probe and an ultrasonic range finder enables one to explore quantitatively and understand many aspects of simple and damped harmonic motions. (Contains 14 figures.)
