Abstract
Abstract
Recent advances in affordable video technology have created opportunities to enhance the precision and educational value of physics experiments. This study investigates the use of Tracker Video Analysis software to improve data collection accuracy in the parallel axis theorem laboratory experiment. A rigid circular disc undergoing torsional oscillations was recorded with a high-resolution camera, and frame-by-frame analysis was performed to determine oscillation periods, torsional constants, and moments of inertia. Beyond precision, the methodology enables reproducibility, remote analysis, and conceptual understanding by allowing repeated, high-resolution investigation of physical processes. These findings highlight the value of integrating digital video analysis into physics education to bridge classical experiments with modern data acquisition techniques.
