Demo Title: Double Spring Damped Air Glider

Area of Study: Oscillations & Acoustics

Procedure:

  • See 1M40.73.
  • Attach the two springs to the air track cart and use the adapters to stretch them to a comfortable level.  Make sure the flag on the cart is turned so that it not only provides some damping, but can also be "seen" by the sonic sensor.
