To find out what projectile is, Gabi and I shot some hoops! I shot a freethrow and she recorded me using the Video Physics app. She tracked the basketball's arc using blue dots from when I shot(released) it, to when it went through the hoop.. Nothing but net. Not only did we play basketball, we learned how to use the Video Physics app and analyze aspects of an object that has been projected or thrown. (and its speed and acceleration)
Check it out..
these are our data graphs:

| Defined Projectile motion and compared the X and Y components. |
