Projectile Motion Reflection on Learning

The Projectile Motion Basketball Lab makes use of a projectile. A projectile is something that is in the air and nothing else except for the force of gravity is acting on it. One person shoots the basketball and another person uses their ipad to record them. We then use the Vernier Video Physics App  to analyze the shot taken by the person. The information that we got from the video was the X and Y Graph. The X graph shows the horizontal movement of the basketball and the Y graph shows the vertical movement. The velocity of X is always constant, but Y can change. What I noticed from the lab was that the basketball was shot in a kind of arc.
