RESEARCH & EXPERIMENTS Ipad features and recommendation First of all, as the project needs the mobility, iPad’s features and interface are researched. The iPad, or what Apple calls their “most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price”, is a 9.7-inch widescreen tablet. It is the best way to experience the web, email, photos, and videos. The following are the basic features of iPad and recommendations are discussed by each category: Safari The Safari web browser on iPad puts the Internet in your hands — literally. View whole web pages in portrait or landscape on the large Multi-Touch screen with vibrant color and sharp text at a size that’s actually readable. When you rotate iPad to landscape, the page you’re viewing rotates, too, then expands to fit the display. By safari on the go, provided that there is internet access, students could easily access to the web page of their institution and check the deadline & do registration and so forth instantly. Mail The Mail app on iPad gives you a natural new way to see your email. Hold iPad in landscape for a split-screen view showing both an opened email and the messages in your inbox, each with a two-line preview of its contents. That makes it easy to get through lots of email quickly. When you want to focus on a single email message, turn iPad to portrait. The email message automatically rotates to fill the screen, so you can concentrate on its contents. If you’d prefer a hard copy of what you see onscreen, use “Air print” to wirelessly print your message. Mail is one of the most effective communication ways as the 3G network is available in most of the places. Therefore, using iPad, students and lecturers could communicate wherever they are so they could update and discuss over the projects and lectures. Photos With the built-in Photos app on iPad, you can see and touch your photos in intuitive new ways. Your photo albums appear as tidy little stacks you can pinch to preview. Tap a stack, and the whole album opens up. From there you can scroll through thumbnails. Tap to view full screen. Or flip through photos one at a time.
The observation of this experiment is that to find the equilibrium of a co-planar force system. This concept will also derived ideas from the experiment 2. Therefore, the apps used will be the same here as well. A Angle Angle is a great looking and accurate angle measurement tool. This application can lock angle for reading and is perfect to test if a surface is level B FastFinga FastFinga is a fast and easy handwriting application. It makes fast hand-written notes, send personalized emails in our handwriting, create hand-written Tweets, post hand-written notes direct to Evernote, write musical scores and math equations and it can also doodle on a photo to send to friends. Experiment 4 ( Friction) The motive of this experiment is to determine the static & dynamic friction of the object. Therefore, the experiment will consists of angle measurement of inclination and writing down data. Here, the popular apps for this project will come again here. A Angle Angle is a great looking and accurate angle measurement tool.

Experiment 5 (Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion) This experiment is to prove that the famous equation F = ma ; acceleration is proportional to the resultant force applied to a given mass or else inversely proportional to the acceleration mass. Apart from the popular 2 apps, one more new app comes alive namely; mobile science – acceleration.
Let’s take a closer look at this app A .Mobile Science- Acceleration The application is useful for measuring acceleration, velocity and distance resulting from motion along a single axis. Up to 120K unfiltered measurements can be recorded from 1 to 100 samples per second and graphed while recorded. It is an easy application to use. Start to start recording measurements and stop to stop recording. Calibrate to toggle zeroing of X, Y and Z axis values to ignore any effects due to gravity or other global acceleration of the device. It can record the movement of the iPad or any device you installed that app. Therefore, simply mount your device on the desired object and move the object along. In the end, the app will give out acceleration and distance graph. Moreover, the popular Angle & FastFinga apps are used here again. Nevertheless the apps described above are not only included in projects, the following apps are also applied and hence, improve the productivity of the project group . Reel Director It is the extremely useful video editor of the iPad or iPhone OS system. All the videos presented during the project are done by this app and therefore, the feature of the app should be described in details for reader’s understanding. ✂ EDITING - Splice, trim, split video clips - Timeline: scrollable, seek-able within clips, easy to arrange order - Preview: full preview of frame at current timeline position, with watermarks and transition applied - Record soundtracks and adjust position, volume and fade in/out - Trim: you can keep original and go back to revise, or make a final cut - Split: cut video into 2 or 3 clips seamlessly - Add Ken Burns effect to photo and Video Ⓣ TEXTS - Add title and subtitle to opening, closing and/or each clip with adjustable length and fonts - Combine 8 styles and 9 positions to create 72 different appearances - Automatically fade in and fade out texts
