Case Study- Using Tracker for Projectile Motion Analysis
During a recent physics class, students used Tracker software to analyze the projectile motion of a basketball. Initially, some struggled to understand the parabolic path, but after visualizing it through Tracker and analyzing frame-by-frame motion, their comprehension improved significantly.
