Watch This Leaping Great White Shark Get Some Serious Air

This awesome video shows a shark jumping out of the water like a rocket. What can we learn from a video analysis? Normal humans think this is cool, but what does a physicist see? We see a projectile motion problem. Yes, for any object that has a motion that is due to the gravitational force only physicists call that projectile motion. Great, but what can we do?
