DescriptionA wheel mounted on a vertical axis is spinning while slowing down. The observation can be used to introduce rotational kinematics (angular position, angular speed, and angular acceleration).The wheels are filmed from above sitting on paper showing a division of the full circle. This allows the momentary angular position of the wheels to be measured from the frames of the movie.(Equipment designed by Werner Maurer.) | ||||||
