Video analysis of path of action

Here is the original video reference, which has several jumps on the same clip. Most of the jumps are kind of wimpy but the first one is pretty good.




Below is the image showing the path of action for the jump as well as the graphs of the horizontal versus time and the vertical position versus time.



Notice that the graph of horizontal position is a straight line, which indicates constant speed in the horizontal direction. The graph of the vertical position is a parabolic arc, similar to the graph in the previous homework (track of a falling object), except that in this case you first rise and then fall back down. But notice how the rising motion is symmetric with the falling motion.

Finally, here is the video clip with tracking:
