Model Experiment of Two-Dimentional Brownian Motion by Microcomputer.

Peer reviewed

Mishima, Nobuhiko; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1980

Describes the use of a microcomputer in studying a model experiment (Brownian particles colliding with thermal particles). A flow chart and program for the experiment are provided. Suggests that this experiment may foster a deepened understanding through mutual dialog between the student and computer. (SK)

Microcomputer Listens to the Coefficient of Restitution.

Peer reviewed

Smith, P. A.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1981

Describes a procedure for determining the coefficient of restitution using a microcomputer which collects and sends data to a large computer where analysis is done and graphical output is generated. The data collection hardware and software are described, and results are illustrated. (Author/SK)
