Students observe and record the motion data for a given object. Using TI-Nspire software technology and a CBR2 or Go-Motion motion detector, students collect and analyze motion data to determine frequency and amplitude. Students use an exponential function to model damping. They compare the model data to experimental data. Full Review »
