Learning Vector of Motion Using FlightRadar24 and Tracker Motion Analysis
Physics Education, v55 n1 Article 015019 Jan 2020
The vector of aircraft motion and analysis using FlightRadar24 and Tracker motion analysis has been investigated and studied. The straight, turning and circular aircraft motion were recorded from www.flightradar24.com using a commercial desktop video recording. Then, the video of the aircraft motion was analyzed using Tracker 5.1.1 to determine the position versus time relation (X(t), Y(t)). The straight aircraft motion observations show that we can learn (or teach) the concept of vectors from a position versus time relation data (X(t), Y(t)). From observations of turning aircraft motion, we can study changes in vectors of velocity and angles between two vectors. Also, from the circular aircraft motion observation, we can learn the concepts of radius, period, and speed of circular motion. This research is expected to improve the quality of physics learning by presenting exciting and flexible experiments for students, teachers, and instructors.
