The position and velocity of a home run are measured carefully on film: 


  Time        x        y         vx        vy
------------------------------------------------
   0          0        0         30        20
   0.5       14        8         27        14
   1.0       26       13         26        10
   1.5       38       16         25         4
------------------------------------------------
