Introduction to Using Tracker Video Analysis

A recording of how to get started and use the Tracker Video Analysis program for our course assignments.  It will also remind you what other files are necessary for analyzing and summarizing your data.

Physics 112

  • We will spend the next couple of days discussing data collection and analysis.  This will include an activity in the computer lab before and after March break (all relevant for your projects).
  • Spend some time thinking about what you want to investigate or an experiment for your projects.
  • Some interesting project ideas: Measuring the acceleration of a ball bounce, shooting/kicking/throwing objects, colliding objects, energy conservation, breaking an object.

Physics 122

  • We will start the next unit on projectile motion.
  • Keep thinking about what to investigate or an experiment for your project.
  • Example interesting topics like circular and/or simple harmonic motion (rollercoaster, car tracks, spinning an object, massess attached to springs), sun spot tracking using SOHO images, energy loss of a bouncing ball, modeling fitting a projectile's path incorporating air resistance, simulating the forces during a rocket launch, simulating the properties of an object undergoing various forces, analyzing the structure of a star.

Math 9

  • We will review your recent test and have a re-write on Friday with a similar test.  If you performed well on your original test you have the choice to work on a bonus project related to linear relations.

Pre-Cal 11

  • Moving on to more work with quadratics.
