Tangential and Centripetal Acc. of a Trajectory

This file provides a starting point for students who have a model for a trajectory for the projectile thrown from a trebuchet. In our case we have a small (1m high) trebuchet where the students have captured a high speed video of the machine throwing various projectiles. They have then used OSP tracker to model the trajectory through the throwing process to model the accelerations the ball experiences through the throw.
