Abstract:
In the present study we have considered the motion of a body in the gravitational field, using the Einstein tablet and a distance sensor. The distance sensor recorded the coordinate of the body in relation to time. The data was then processed using the MiLAB Software. The graph of the velocity versus time was determined, the gravitational acceleration was calculated. The graphs of the kinetic energy of the body with respect to time and the graph of the potential energy of the body in relation to the spatial coordinate were also represented. By presenting the experiment of motion in the gravitational field, studied with the Einstein Tablet, we sought to demonstrate the fact that, starting from simple experiments, it is possible to reach complex data processing facilitated by the MiLAB software.
