Brubaker, Mervin – Physics Teacher, 1974
Descriptors: Laboratory Experiments, Measurement, Motion, Photography

Winters, Loren M. – Physics Teacher, 1991
Describes the use of a microcomputer as an intervalometer for the control and timing of several flash units to photograph high-speed events. Applies this technology to study the oscillations of a stretched rubber band, the deceleration of high-speed projectiles in water, the splashes of milk drops, and the bursts of popcorn kernels. (MDH)

Winters, Loren – Physics Teacher, 1992
Describes a photogate electronic flash trigger that synchronizes flash discharge with high-speed events. Presents a photographic study of a high-speed collision demonstrating the passage of a BB through an elastic strip. Provides the schematic of the delay circuit utilized in the trigger. (MDH)
Descriptors: Demonstrations (Educational), Electric Circuits, Electronic Equipment, Motion

Nissan, M.; And Others – Physics Education, 1988
Describes a special camera that can be directly linked to a computer that has been adapted for studying movement. Discusses capture, processing, and analysis of two-dimensional data with either IBM PC or Apple II computers. Gives examples of a variety of mechanical tests including pendulum motion, air track, and air table. (CW)
