Explore Parabolic Motion (High school physics)

This app was developed for a physics workshop targeting high school students. 中高生向け物理実験ワークショップのために作成したアプリです。

High school students learn about parabolic motions in their physics course. They learn the theory of the motion, but how does the theory really compare to the actual motion? Does reality match theory? If not, what could account for the differences? These questions are best answered by performing experiments, analyzing the data, comparing it to the theory, and observing.

This app was developed as part of a workshop that we held for a group of high school students. The app allows you to analyze a video of a projectile motion and compare it to a theoretical curve. Start off by taking a video of yourself throwing (tossing) a ball. Then use the app to import the video, analyze, compare. It's fairly self-explanatory, but there's an instruction PDF which describes how to use the app.

This app can be used as is in a physics workshop setting, but the other purpose of this entry is to provide ideas on how to bridge theory and experiments.

このアプリは、「理論を実験で検証する」というテーマで行った中高生向けワークショップのために作成されたものです。特に、このワークショップでは放物運動を取り上げました。実験（動画撮影）から、データの読み込み、画像解析、データの可視化、理論値の計算、理論と実験データの比較を一つのアプリで行うため、MATLAB のプログラミング知識は必要ありません。

このアプリを実行するには Computer Vision Toolbox と Image Processing Toolbox が必要です。

NOTE: This app can be run in Japanese (日本語) mode or English mode.
NOTE: This app requires Computer Vision Toolbox and Image Processing Toolbox
NOTE: This was created on R2018b Windows. I tested it on R2018a and R2019a Windows, but it may very well run on other releases and OS.
