Quick Answer: The Timer System is a laboratory timer for measuring time intervals in physics experiments on motion, acceleration, pendulums and free fall. It is reset to zero before each run, and the time read from its display is used to work out speed, acceleration, period or frequency.

About This Product
Timing by hand with a stopwatch adds reaction-time error, so a timer linked to the experiment gives more consistent readings. The recorded intervals are used for speed, acceleration, pendulum period and frequency, and the timer can also be used for reaction-time activities. Enquiries from Ghana, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Yemen, Philippines and Indonesia for the Timer system receive an export quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
