Peer reviewedClack, Jhules A. M.; Toepker, Terrence P. – Physics Teacher, 1990
Describes an experiment demonstrating Lenz's law by measuring a magnet falling through a copper tube compared to a nonmagnet falling. Presents diagrams and pictures showing the apparatus. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Interfaces, Laboratory Equipment, Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedHarter, William G. – American Journal of Physics, 1971
Presents the theoretical explanation of the observation that when a pen that is stuck in a hard rubber ball and dropped, the pen may bounce to several times the dropped height. Includes the procedure and models created to explain the observations. (DS)

Peer reviewedScott, Angus W. – Physics Teacher, 1989
Describes three experiments with an air table to produce a centripetal force. Provides some diagrams and pictures of the apparatus. (YP)
Descriptors: College Science, Laboratory Equipment, Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedWalter, R. Kenneth – Physics Teacher, 1989
Introduces a computer solution of the oscillation of a mass suspended by a spring in a viscous liquid. Describes the equations of motion, spreadsheet solution, copying the formulas, plotting the results, and extending the applications. Presents spreadsheet and physics formulas for the step-by-step solution and spreadsheet solution. (YP)
