The Throw Motion-Law

Unlike the other motion-laws, the Throw motion-law rises from its Start-Position to its maximum displacement, and then returns to its Start-Position.

Use two Flexible Polynomial segments to design the Throw motion-law. Usually, the two segments have equal durations, but it is not necessary.

Throw: Quick-Return 1 - Zero Jerk at Start and End.

Because you use two Flexible-Polynomial segments to design the Throw motion-law, you can enter different motion-values and motion-constraints at its start, its maximum displacement, and at its end.

All Throw motion-laws have zero velocity and acceleration at their start and end.

This Throw motion-law also has zero Jerk at its start and end.

This Throw has a Quick-Return because it has a negative acceleration at its maximum displacement - the transition from Rise to Return.
