How many fps do I need for classic physics experients (free fall, spring projectile launchers etc.)

Hello!
I teach physics and I'm about to buy a camera. I'm not sure which specs I need. Of course more fps are better, but what what would be a reasonable choice?
I'm consindering:
Panasonic FZ82: 1080 pixels, 60p 280 x 720 pixels, 25p (HD: MP4) (Sensor Output is 100fps) 640 x 480 pixels, 25p (VGA: MP4) (Sensor Output is 200fps)
Gopro Hero 7 black: 1080p 240hz, but I'm worried about lens distortion.
Sony RX-10 II: 1080p 1000fps, but expensive...
I will use it for tracking motion for projectiles (fired from spring launchers, tossed balls and free falling objects)
