Detail Page

written by the High-Speed Visual Imaging
This site by Loren Winters contains an investigation of forces exerted by a BB striking an elastic strip.  The site provides an introduction, preparations, analysis, and interpretations of this experiment, and the author presents an interesting paradox for visitors to resolve.  A student gallery shows various examples of strobe photos, including balloons popped with paintballs and "fractured food."
