Adventure 12 – Projectile Motion: The Vertical Secret

In this adventure you’ll connect motion graphs to a key calculus idea: where a maximum happens, and what it means. You will study two motions: A ball thrown straight up and a cannon ball fired from a cannon. Although they look different, their vertical motion is the same.
