Dropping A Ball Experiment

Linear motion experiments, namely gravitational acceleration and energy conservation experiments require students to analyze the parameters of the object’s motion.  Ticker tape in school laboratory is almost impossible to execute or resolve the above problems.  Teachers often find it difficult to explain the concept as they are unable to show proof or evidence to the students.

With ‘Dropping a ball experiment’, using Tracker Software (a Freeware), the teacher is able to conduct learner-centered in-depth video analysis with reference to the theoretical physic models of gravitational acceleration, principle of conservation of energy and energy loss due to damping.  The values deduced from the video analysis are consistent with the real world data of gravitational acceleration on earth surface.
