Use of the optical mouse in teaching experimental Physics

We are surrounded by cheap measuring instruments that can be used to teach physics. The goal of every professor today is too cheaply and simply prove the laws physics using measuring devices. Optical mouse can be easily turned into a stopwatch. It captures a large amount of data in a short period of time, using programs such as the Cronocomando, Stopwatch,zap_ura or Mouse Motion. Optical mouse can be used to study various types of movements and positions in real time with greater accuracy than a ticker timer. In this work we will determine the acceleration of an object in free fall using an optical mouse.
