Description
This week you will continue on with your efforts in video analysis, in a physics context.
Additionally, you will apply these video analysis skills to a moving projectile, or an object thrown
in the air. You may consider asking a friend to help with the video recording, to make the
process go a bit smoother. The recording process should only take 5 minutes, or so. To better
understand a fundamental principle in physics (all objects fall at the same rate on Earth), we will
be fitting the video data with functions to illustrate the mathematical behavior of an everyday
action.
Time Spent on Lab = Approximately three hours, does not need to be done at one sitting
Learning Objectives
● Model projectile motion in multiple forms
● Solve for a projectile’s path given a set of initial conditions
Materials
● Video camera or cell phone camera
● Ball or similar soft object to throw in the air
● Computer with LoggerPro software installed
Pre-Lab Activity
Install and familiarize yourself with the LoggerPro software by Vernier.
● Installing LoggerPro instructions
1. Thinking back to the first lab experiment and your idea for a video project to create a lab
around. Does the video already include vectors in two dimensions? If so, describe this
below.
Answer:
I will give you access.
