this video was made completely with https://motioncanvas.io/, a code to animated video library
notes:
- the ball did not fall for 3 seconds i lied, it was actually around 2.5
- you might see delta X written as h
- derivatives are often shown as f'(x) or dy/dx (d is Δ (delta)'s infinitesimally small cousin)

Special thanks to my friend Jack that helped me with the math, scripting, and gave great feedback
