Tracker Analysis

Use Tracker to determine the equations for the displacement (horizontal and vertical) of the basketball. Take a screenshot showing your equations and graphs.

 Determine the maximum height of the basketball in the air (with respect to its initial launching position). Take a screenshot showing your maximum height.
 From Tracker, you can determine the time of the basketball flying in the air. Record this time.
 t=1.75 seconds

 With the horizontal displacement, the maximum height, and the time of the basketball traveling in the air that you determined previously, calculate the initial velocity, and the launching angle of the basketball.
Initial Velocity=7.06 m/s 
Launch Angle=71.2 degrees
