Elephant Video:

Slide the play$-$bar at the bottom of the video to place beginning and ending tabs for the section that you are analyzing $($frames $347$ to $536).$ For scaling, you may assume that the trampoline is $5m$ in diameter.

General Pointers:

Watch the instructional video for tips on scaling.

Track the centre of mass of the elephant as this should follow our "ideal" projectile path $($choose the middle of his body at all times$)$
