The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Projectile Motion: The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Students learn to describe horizontal and vertical components of a projectile ...

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

As the name suggests, horizontal motion occurs when the object is thrown horizontally, meaning it starts with zero vertical velocity. The only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to ...

In this video, we dive into how to solve projectile motion problems using the quadratic formula! From calculating the height and distance to finding the time of flight, we’ll show you how to apply the ...

College football season is coming to an end (I guess technically, the season is over - it is bowl season). Anyway, this is something I wanted to do a long time ago, but I kept getting side tracked. If ...

One of the many awesome things about physics is you can study it anywhere. I’ll prove it with a fun problem that involves a cart and a ball. Not just any cart, but a cart that rolls along a table and ...

WE are told in the Preface to this work that “the consideration of the motion of a projectile naturally divides itself into three parts—first, its motion in the bore of the gun; second, its motion ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
