Tracker Experiment

Two equal mass head on side view

model by lookang
the contact force appears to be slightly different, i speculate is due to the video perspective error of not being perfectly square to the motion

sources of errors
Tracker model builder has systemic error?
video is taken sideways with a slight perspective error that can result in the discrepant data
motion is not perfectly in x direction?
