Voyager and Speedway Wonder™: Learning Angular Velocity in a Fun Way
Have your students attach Voyager to a Speedway Wonder™ car, set up a Speedway track of their own design, and they will be ready to challenge one another in a unique way. The main idea is to collect angular velocity data while Voyager circuits the track. Then by carefully studying the angular velocity graphs produced, determine posible layouts of the track. A magnet at one location along the track, coupled with simultaneously measuring magneti
