Projectile Trajectories on the Air Table
Description A tilted air track and a puck are used to study two dimensional motion
with constant acceleration.
  In each clip the puck is either released with no initial speed (a drop)
or launched by hand as a projectile.
Scaling data Diameter of puck = 7.60 cm
Distance between the two arrows on the air table = 20.15 cm
