Use Tracker


For this Prac you will need to link to R:\Science\Yr 10 Science\Physics\tracker (Note this is inside the school).


You need to take video of something dropping or accelerating. Put it on your desktop and include in Tracker.


Then analyse and save the y, t data to an excel, and produce a displacement vs time and a velocity vs time graph in excel.


Finally upload your work to Moodle.

Provide graph of height vs time

Plot your results and these

4mm, 1m, 1.3 s
5mm, 1m, 1 s
7mm, 1m, 0.66s

for different heights
0.5m, 0.7 s

About Me

My photo
I come from a Science family: My father Geoffrey Hill was Australia's first computer programmer on CSIRAC the fourth computer in the world. He is credited with invention of Computer music and the development of “Interprogram” a language before Basic. My PhD is in Atomic and Molecular Physics. I have researched the activated oxygen layer above the ozone layer, and 'Assigned' the world's smallest molecule. At the University of Toronto I researched high power UV lasers. I have specialized in automation in fibre optics. This developed into research in Machine Intellect and Robots. I have enjoyed work as an Explainer with Questacon and my time as a part-time soldier. I currently teach High School Science at Epping Boys’ High.
