Experimentally verified the relationship between motion in inertial (Non-rotating) and non-inertial (Rotating) reference frames by using a vision-based object tracker, a rotating platform, and Mathematica.
- Designed and performed an experiment to verify the relationship between motion in inertial and non-inertial reference frames by using a vision-based object tracker (Physlets Tracker) and a rotating platform for a laboratory class
- Found the numerical parametric solution to a system of differential equations and solved for the parameters using nonlinear regression and Mathematica
- Presented on the findings of the experiment in front of a panel of professors and students
- original video files have gone missing but tracker data in the form of .csv is included under physlets_tracker_results
- Two notebooks (in .nb and .pdf) contain the code used to determine values in the different reference frames
- gifs are included in the .pptx version of the presentation
- Worked with team member Ian Costley (https://github.com/TheNudibranch)
