This study aims to measure the angular velocity of a clock's second hand and the average angular velocity of a metronome using a smartphone. To determine the angular velocities, the ticking of clock's second hand and the metronome beats were recorded. The angle between the extreme left and right positions of the metronome's hand was also measured.…

Kapucu, Serkan – Physics Education, 2017
This study investigates how the acceleration and speed of a light-emitting object on an inclined plane may be determined using a smartphone's light sensor. A light-emitting object was released from the top of an inclined plane and its illuminance values were detected by a smartphone's light sensor during its subsequent motion down the plane. Using…
