Abstract
The material of parabolic motion is one of the materials considered difficult by most high school students. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the parabolic motion with a contextual approach to throwing a basketball. The research method used was descriptive experimental, namely recording a video of throwing a basketball at a variation of the distance of 2 m, 3 m and 5 m from the thrower’s foot to the hoof. The video was analyzed using tracker software and the parameters measured were time of the ball to fly in the air, the farthest distance, maximum height and total velocity. The results obtained show that distance is directly proportional to time. The thrower was at a distance of 5 m from the foot of the basketball hoop represents more perfect parabolic motion. The conclusion is that basketball games can be used as a contextual approach to the parabolic motion material.
