Nerd-A-Pult - Measuring Initial Velocity

The video tutorial explains how to measure and calculate the initial velocity of a ball launched from a device called the Nerdipult. It covers measuring the launch arm, setting up a right triangle, calculating angles using trigonometry, and determining the initial speed through frame-by-frame analysis. The tutorial concludes with a correction on significant figures.
