Two balls with identical initial velocities race on flexible tracks. One of the tracks is nearly level while the other dips, stays low for a distance, then rises back to the finish. 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.
