Abstract
In this paper the author is presenting a novel experiment for measuring the gravitational acceleration using simple and cost effective apparatus with a regular pendulum, composed of an Arduino Uno and a light interruption circuit with an light dependent resistor (LDR) and an light emitting diode (LED), the data was recorded using PLX − DAQ data acquisition tool for further analysis, the experiment would be useful for introductory physics courses on the subject.
期刊介绍:
Physics Education seeks to serve the physics teaching community and we welcome contributions from teachers. We seek to support the teaching of physics to students aged 11 up to introductory undergraduate level. We aim to provide professional development and support for teachers of physics around the world by providing: a forum for practising teachers to make an active contribution to the physics teaching community; knowledge updates in physics, educational research and relevant wider curriculum developments; and strategies for teaching and classroom management that will engage and motivate students.
