A ball dropped from rest leaves a trail of strobe images as it falls. All necessary data is included for quantitative analysis. A ball tossed nearly straight up leaves a trail of strobe images as it rises and falls. All necessary data is included for quantitative analysis. A ball tossed out at an angle leaves a trail of strobe images along a parabolic path.
All necessary data is included for quantitative analysis.
A mass on a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion along a vertical axis. The motion creates a trail of strobe images which scroll horizontally to generate a position-time graph. All necessary data are included for quantitative analysis. A simple pendulum attached to a spring scale swings with an amplitude of 37 degrees. The scale shows that the tension in the cord varies with angle.
