Fast Timer by Unilab

Fast Timer by Unilab

The Unilab Fast Timer is a versatile, portable instrument for timing brief events with two ranges: 1 to 999.9ms and 1 to 9999µs. The inputs can be controlled by light gates, microphones or mechanical switches, connected via 4mm sockets. Two sockets provide 0 and 5V for connection to sensors if required.
The usual care is needed when using microphones to ensure that a repeatable sharp sound is obtained, e.g. use a toffee hammer and steel slab to produce a sharp noise when measuring the speed of sound.

Learning Outcomes
Key Stage 3 Physics – Waves: Sound needs a medium to travel, the speed of sound in air, in water, in solids.
Key Stage 4 Physics – Motion and Forces: Estimate speeds encountered in everyday experience (e.g. Speed of Sound) and the magnitudes of everyday accelerations, including the acceleration in free fall.
Top Tips
9V Battery is not included – the battery compartment is easily accessible by removing the side panels of the Fast Timer.
