Description
The SmartPhysics project involved two higher education institutions, one in Italy and one in the US, with the aim of exploring the use of smartphones to perform laboratory experiments in introductory physics courses at university. Here we present and discuss two experiments that were tested during the project: the ‘pendulum’ experiment, consisting in the measurement of g using a pendulum and a proximity stopwatch, and the ‘bouncing ball’ experiment, aimed at measuring the energy lost by a bouncing ball going through a series of inelastic collisions with a hard surface.
