Data Studio is a data acquisition, display and analysis program. The software works with PASCO sensors and interfaces to collect and analyze data in real time. UCLA Physics and Astronomy Lecture Demonstrations has developed numerous experiments for use with undergraduate lectures to demonstrate physics concepts. Some of the concepts that can be shown include the following:
The relation between position, velocity and acceleration (p,v,a plots).
Conservation of momentum and energy.
Heat engines (PV and TS plots).
The relation between pressure and temperature at constant volume (PT at constant V plots).
