Description of the Experiment
In the first video a ball is launched vertically. In the second video the same apparatus is used to launch the ball (at the same speed as the first video) at an unspecified angle above the ledge of the board. You are challenged to use any means at your disposal to figure out three ways to measure how far the ball flew in the horizontal direction. The end point is where the ball crosses the horizontal line make by the ledge of the chalk-board. In the second video there is a ruler resting on the ledge. It has distance markings on it every 20cm.
