There are seven mechanics experiments on the leaving certificate physics course. All seven are listed here and are available as
JavaScript simulations on this site. Experiment 7 is required for higher level only.
- Measurement of velocity and acceleration
- To show that acceleration is proportional to force
- Verification of the principle of conservation of momentum
- Measurement of g (Free Fall method)
- Verfication of Boyle's law
- Investigation of the laws of equilibrium for a set of co-planar forces
- Investigation of relationship between period and length for a simple pendulum and hence calculation of g
