American Journal of Physics
written by W. Benenson and Wolfgang Bauer
The availability of video and frame grabbing technology for desktop computers permits a new form of visualization and measurement in mechanics experiments. Simple systems such as bouncing balls can be studied in detail and with enough precision to determine important aspects of the motion. For example, the system can be used for introductory students to measure the acceleration of gravity, g, and it also can be coupled with advanced mathematical techniques to find the drag coefficient and elasticity of the bounce. Conventional spreadsheet programs can be used to carry out all but the most mathematical treatments of the data. Examples of analyses which were carried out by high school students through senior physics majors at college are given.
