Tiny Science | Amazing Projectile Motion – Strobe freezes water drops in mid-air!

Warning – strobe effects may cause discomfort to some viewers.

Learn about projectile motion by ‘freezing’ water droplets in real time. You can clearly see the horizontal velocity remains constant and that the vertical velocity component increases.

This Real Lego. Real Science. Real Good episode may look like it’s just for kids – but it’s aimed at the Physics student. However, everyone will enjoy the effect of using the stroboscope to ‘freeze’ the water in space. Measurements can be made from this video to analyse the projectile motion and the horizontal velocity component can be determined, as well as the acceleration due to gravity.
