Abstract

A remotely controlled automated apparatus is used to accurately test linear momentum conservation at low friction conditions. Electronic control of the magnetic actuators and photoelectric acquisition system is performed by a dsPIC30 microcontroller, connected to the e-lab platform. Placed at a high school, this experiment aims to encourage electronics and physics learning at a pre-college level and demonstrate e-lab´s scouting potential.
