The Projectile inside the Loop
Abstract
Description
In this paper we describe an alternative use of the loop-the-loop apparatus, which can be used to study an interesting case of projectile motion. We also present an effective way to perform and analyze these experiments, by using video capture software together with a digital video camera. These experiments can be integrated into classroom demonstrations for general physics courses, or become part of laboratory activities.
