phys (1116) Space: [p] filming trajectory

today we did a prac, a familiar prac, about throwing a basketball and filming it. we'll analyze it and further work with it later.. but for now.. we discussed things about it first, then filmed it.

we decided to use the big pipe thing coz it measured up to be 2m long, and it would be totally visible in the video.

the thing was the scale had to be in the same plane as the trajectory (in order to produce accurate results/readings)

oh and apparently the scale might not have been exactly 2m accorind to zhou and monger

wth monger is an english word? haha

and i suggested the camera has to be at the right angle, it cant be looking up or side on of the ball, the lense has to be parallel to the plane of the trajectory (in terms of x and y movement)

catch me?

so we went out, and i filmed udit and tommy throwing the ball back and forth.. hopefully we got some good shots
