Proving Newton Right or Wrong with Blur Photography
Davidhazy, Andrew
Tech Directions, v71 n6 p15-17 Jan 2012
Sir Isaac Newton determined that the acceleration constant for gravity was 32 ft./per/sec/sec. This is a fact that most students become familiar with over time and through various means. This article describes how this can be demonstrated in a technology classroom using simple photographic equipment. (Contains 5 figures.)
