Video Analysis Project – Physics is Math in Motion!

Your project is to:

1. Select or create a short video clip of motion.

2. Analyze the movie clip in LoggerPro 3.5

3. Create a PowerPoint that will be used to share your project with a math analysis class.

The Powerpoint presentation will contain:

1. Title Slide

2. Embedded video clip

3. A screen shot of the analysis of the video using LoggerPro 3.5 that shows data and has properly labeled axes, but no curve fit.

4. A screen shot with the same graph as in #3, but with the curve fit.

5. Three slides that discuss the physical meaning of the coefficients of the equation and/or important features of the graph (vertex, max/min, zeroes, etc). For each feature, show a screenshot of the video frame that represents it.

You can analyze your video in the physics lab or at home. CDs with LoggerPro 3.5 and a library of videos can be checked out from Ms. Andersen or copied onto a flash drive from the Y:/ drive. Or LoggerPro 3.4 demo can be downloaded from www.vernier.com.

This project will count as a test grade.
