Handle With Care

2012 Mar 09. This post references this task.

Greg Hitt put this image up in front of his class and couldn't get them back:

So, anyways, they could see plain as day about the object’s motion, seeing the way that the vertical component of velocity goes towards zero, inspecting the horizontal component and seeing that it stays more or less the same. Again, the clarity of the image made it so they could see it, without me having to tell them. Good! Success! Time to move on! “Wait!” the kid yells. “Does he make the shot?

Sometimes the picture asks a question so loudly you have to answer it.
