The last time I looked at this projectile motion lab, I was confused. My different methods for measuring the launch speed of the ball were not even close to being consistent. So, I am bringing out ...

The key to projectile motion is to realize that the horizontal and vertical motions are independent of each other (except for the time each motion takes).

The study of how projectiles move through the air is called projectile motion. When a projectile is launched, it has an initial velocity (its speed and direction of motion).

We show that a projectile launched horizontally with a drag force dependent on a power of the velocity will reach a minimum velocity before reaching the terminal velocity. SIAM Review contains ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

But here's the bit that justifies Dawson's explanation of projectile motion. Basically, a projectile like a golf ball has two velocity components, a horizontal one and a vertical one, as Martin ...

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 ...

In the Projectile Motion episode of NBC Learn's "The Science of NFL Football," you see that punted footballs travel in an arc known to mathematicians as a parabola.

The Hyper Velocity Projectile is basically a flying hypersonic spike and is launched in a similar fashion as the sabot rounds fired by Main Battle Tanks. The super low-drag spike of a projectile ...
