Hansen, Nils Kristian; Mitchell, James Robert – Physics Education, 2013
This work examines the feasibility of employing a Nintendo Wii game
controller for measuring car speed in an interdisciplinary school project. It
discusses the physical characteristics of the controller and of vehicle
headlights. It suggests how an experiment may be linked to topics in
mathematics, statistics, physics and computer science. An…
