Abstract

We used a method for the acquisition of stroboscopic images by using a economical mechanical stroboscope. It was used in the study of rectilinear uniform motion, uniformly accelerated motion and short duration 2-dimensional motion. The analysis of each strobe photograph was performed using free and open source software. Motion equations describing each of the movements and the gravity acceleration value for Bogota city were obtained.
