Moelis Access Science
This spring, students in West Philadelphia will take basketball from the court to the computer screen.
With the help of Penn’s outreach program Moelis Access Science, they will be simulating the parabolic trajectory of a basketball and learning the physics behind it using two-dimensional equations of motion.
