The document analyzes pitching in softball through video analysis conducted by four students. It defines tangential acceleration as the change in linear speed along a path of motion and radial acceleration as directed towards the center of curvature. Data collected includes ball speed, arm length, and pitching arm swing. It then poses a question calculating the tangential and radial accelerations on a ball just before release during a pitch over 0.98 seconds with an arm length of 0.58m and tangential ball speed of 15.7m/s.
