    6-050-BowlingBallPath-ModelingScenario
    This modeling scenario examines the motion of a bowling ball with the goal of understanding how various aspects of the release affect ball placement and the entry angle to the pocket, each an important factor in the frequency of strikes.

    3-045-RampBounce-ModelingScenario
    Students build two projectile motion models (1) a one-dimensional model for a vertically falling ball from a fixed distance until it hits an inclined ramp and (2) a two-dimensional projectile motion model of the ball bouncing off the ramp.

    3-009-BallDropInWater-ModelingScenario
    We conduct an analysis of a falling ball in liquid to determine its terminal velocity and to ascertain just what radius ball for a given mass density is necessary to attain a designated terminal velocity.

    3-013-WhiffleBallFall-ModelingScenario
    We are given data on the time and position of a whiffle ball as it falls to the ground. We attempt to model the falling ball and we confront the different resistance terms and models.

    3-011-EulerBallThrowing-ModelingScenario
    If a tennis ball is thrown through the air it will hit the ground due to gravity. Using Euler's method, write a short script (Python, Matlab, R, etc.) to find the trajectory of the ball which will maximize the distance the ball lands from the...

    1-020-IceMelt-ModelingScenario
    We offer up the claim of a store catalog that its ice ball mold allows users to ``. . . make ice balls that outlast cubes and won't water drinks down.'' We ask students to build a mathematical model to defend or contradict this claim.

    6-008-PursuitModels-Modeling Scenario
    Students are prompted to build systems of nonlinear differential equations to model pursuit-evader activities in which a pursuer attempts to follow, perhaps track down and come close to, an evader without knowledge of the evader's intentions, just...
