Demonstrating Calculus with a Ball and Force Platform

The video tutorial explores the physics of a ball dropped onto a force platform. It covers data collection, the use of the quadratic formula to adjust time, and calculations of impulse and average force. The tutorial also analyzes acceleration, jerk, velocity, and displacement during the collision. Finally, it determines the spring constant of the ball, demonstrating the application of calculus in physics.
