Does an atlatl lengthen how far a dart goes compared to hand throwing the dart? Purpose The purpose of the experiment was to find out if the atlatl truly does increase the distance that a dart can travel, compared to just using an arm, on average.

s(t¬2) = 10w (1- e^((-t2)/10) ) = x e^((-t2)/10) = 1 - x/10w t2 = -10 ln ( (10w-x)/10w ) This is the equation for the second part of the relayed throw, from the cutoff to the catcher. The Relayed Throw Equation Now that both time equations for the relayed throw are formed, an equation for the entire time of the throw can be created. Once the throw reaches the cutoff, he must transfer the ball from his glove to his throwing hand, get a good four-seam grip on the ball, pivot, and throw. To…
