Physics with Video Analysis

Description

The book topics include kinematics, dynamics, circuits, sound, electrostatics, and more.

The Physics with Video Analysis book is a product of the NSF-funded LivePhoto Project. For more information, see http://livephoto.rit.edu/.

To learn more about the video capture and analysis features of Logger Pro, read the Overview of Video Features in Logger Pro FAQ.

Included with Physics with Video Analysis

• Complete student experiments with materials list, step-by-step instructions, data tables, and questions.
• Teacher Information section for each experiment with complete directions for setting up experiments, helpful hints, and sample graphs and data.
• Word-processing files of the student sections on a CD so that any experiment may be easily edited to your specifications (Microsoft Word for Macintosh and Windows files).
• Professionally-made digital videos.
• Logger Pro setup files.

Features listed above are only available when you purchase the lab book.

Free Sample Labs

Four sample activities are available as a free download.

• Pool Ball uses a video of a ball bouncing from the edge of a pool table. Students investigate the meaning of average speed and average velocity in a two-dimensional environment.
• Impulsive Juggling includes a video of a professional juggler. Students consider ball motion in free fall and during the throws.
• Sonic Doppler supplies a video of a car passing a microphone. FFTs of the sound recording, along with video analysis of the car motion, are used to observe the doppler effect.
• RC Decay combines video and sensor records of an RC circuit to measure time constants and capacitance.

The download is a zip file containing videos, Logger Pro files, and pdf files containing the student activity without solutions. Logger Pro 3.6 or newer is required to perform video analysis.
