What does the CBR 2™ sonic motion detector do?
With the CBR 2™ motion detector and a TI graphing calculator, students can collect, view, and analyze motion data without tedious measurements and manual plotting.
The CBR 2™ motion detector lets students explore the mathematical and scientific relationships between distance, velocity, acceleration, and time using data collected from activities they perform. Students can explore math and science concepts such as:
0motion: distance, velocity, acceleration
0graphing: coordinate axes, slope, intercepts
0functions: linear, quadratic, exponential, sinusoidal
0calculus: derivatives, integrals
0statistics and data analysis: data collection methods, statistical analysis
0Physics: motion, use with dynamics tracks, pendulum analysis, position, velocity, acceleration
0Physical Science: motion experiments
