This mobile-friendly digital collection features 11 models that use the accelerometer on a smartphone to detect acceleration and read the direction of the gravitational field g. Scenarios modeled include a block sliding on an inclined plane, horizontal and vertical spring oscillators, a pendulum, and a ball on a moving ring. The "Exploration" section is designed to demonstrate physical concepts and provide reading assignments prior to class. The "Problem" section asks students to demonstrate understanding with less guidance. The "Lecture Demos" are simulations without explanation (for use by educators). Don't miss the "Resources" section for tips on turning your smartphone into a robust piece of data collection.
