I'm a Vernier person, so this may be off the wall, but ..._______________________________________________
The clue is the one cm. Time the first one cm blockage; this is the
speed (millis/ cm); time the second one.. Subtract and divide by the
distance between the two gates.
Voila!

Hi folks!
I am trying out the PASCO PasPort system and DataStudio.
I can't figure out how to use DataStudio software, PasPort photogate
port and two photogates to calculate acceleration the way I can with
ScienceWorkshop:
a glider with a 1 cm flag passes thru two photogates
accel. = (v2-v1)/(time between gates).
Any suggestions?
(I know I could use a small picket fence a motion sensor, but would
rather use the method described above)
Thanks in advance,
Owen
