Construct Vectors with Lengths Proportional to the Horizontal and Vertical Velocities: The images that follow are motion diagrams created based on a video analysis of the ball’s path. Use the fact that the lengths of displacement and velocity vectors are proportional to each other to draw a series of vectors that are proportional to the average x and y-velocity vector components during each 1/15th of a second time interval. Start with Frame 1 in each of the figures that follow. Place the tail of the first velocity vector at the ball’s location in frame 1 and then place the tail of the next vector at the ball’s location in frame 2 and so on.

There is a constant acceleration in downwards direction due to gravity so the vertical velocity vector magnitude keeps on increasing as the ball fall. The situation is drawn below,
