I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you are afraid of heights, this is a super scary video. In case you are too afraid to watch it, this dude jumps off the top of a building that is listed at 129 feet and lands in water. But wait!

In this video, we introduce the fundamentals of kinematics in 2D, focusing on projectile motion. Learn how to break down the horizontal and vertical components of motion, apply key equations, and ...
