Channel: Physics This Week
Date: 2017-09-04

This is a video explaining data collection for the Free Fall Lab used at Finger Lakes Community College (www.flcc.edu).  A 200 g mass was dropped while attached to a strip of paper.  The paper ran through a Pasco ticker tape timer that made dots on the paper every one fortieth (1/40) of a second.  Some of the data collection parameters are explained in the video.
 
The data sets are available for students enrolled in PHY118 and PHY151.

FLCC offers in-person and online physics classes each semester.
