Over 50 film sequences of objects in motion, including crashing cars and trains, falling and spinning objects, atheltes and gymnasts, rocks and astronauts. Also contains motion analysis software which enables students to plot points in high-resolution images taken from the film footage, recording position and time coordinates that can be tabulated, graphed and processed to determine velocities, accelerations, momenta, forces and energies. Each motion sequence has an audio introduction and a related text file.
