Post #8 - Unit 4

     Today we learned about objects that move up and down and also side to side at the same time. The main concept we learned was that axes are independent. What happens on the x-axis, stays on the x-axis. What happens on the y-axis, stays on the y-axis. This means that the axes have their own equation when solving for a value.
     Today we saw an example of a parabolic motion when our classmates dove into the pool. We used the video of the dive and plotted points to find the parabolic motion of the dive. It was really cool being able to get data from a video.
     I used a picture of me throwing a baseball because the motion of the ball moves up and down and to the side at the same time (parabolic motion). The ball goes fast, slow, stop, slow, fast (y-axis) and the velocity side to side (x-axis) is constant.
