Long trails terminated by heavy rocks called 'sailing stones' were discovered along smooth valley floors in Nevada, California… and the surface of Mars. How are these heavy rocks moving across what seems to be desert? Can you solve complex kinematics problems using pictures, graphs, and deep understanding? Can you use real data from recently published journal articles to answer authentic questions in kinematics?
