Free Fall Motion Simulation

Procedure

  • Import the video into Tracker (If you haven't download the app, you can find it in the software recommended section). Then use Tracker to track the object's trajectory (If you are looking for a tutorial video for tTracker tutorial).
  • Tracker will generate all kind of graph, such as vertical component VS time. Change the y-axis to different quantities and see what pattern can you observed.
