I’d been meaning to try this for awhile. February break gave me the chance to sit down and get it done.

I’m hoping to apply a few of the techniques to a snowtubing field trip we’re taking the kids on next week. (distance/rate/time)

Great guide, thanks Dan!

I realize I cut a few corners on the geogebra file, I figure I’ll be reworking it a bit when I get around to using it in a lesson.

Advanced tip:
In your video, at 2:28, you load the images into Photoshop. The window with the images is sitting open right in your view… shouldn’t you be able to just grab those images instead of having to navigate to them?

You can! Just drag one of those images onto the “Open” dialog box, and the dialog will navigate directly to that image’s file location.

Macs are cool that way. :)

This is super helpful, Dan. Thanks for sharing!

We’ll be using this to analyze projectile motion with and without (significant) air resistance. Looking forward to sharing our work with the community.

appears nowhere friction model for launch.
one more thing to consider when filming with one camera is the central geometry in capturing the shot.
from what I could see the volleyball model seems to regard the latter ( http://blog.esu11.org/dschaben/2010/11/19/parabolic-volleyball/ ) as it draws the shot with what appears to be several photo-shots and clearly not a parable
should also consider the turn his hand transmit to the ball, the ring size could ultimately rejected the model of friction for a short or necessary to launch a very strong and etc.
