Uniform Motion

written by Aaron Titus

The Video Analysis of Uniform Motion lab uses the Tracker video analysis tool to measure and analyze the motion of a steel ball rolling with constant velocity on an aluminum track.

The trz file contains a pdf lab handout and Tracker tab files with two different videos (slower speed ball and faster speed ball).

The videos can be used with other video analysis software; however, the handout has screen captures from Tracker and instructions specifically written for Tracker.
