Suppose you throw some object near the surface of the earth. If the only significant force on the object is the constant downward gravitational force, we call this "projectile motion." Yes, that ...

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 ...

Was that awesome video real or fake? How could you tell? Well, from a physics perspective there are at least three methods to use in an analysis that will tell us if a video is fake. When you think of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Revise: Projectile motion Projectile motion Projectiles and satellites move in curved paths due to the effects of gravitational force. By considering motion in horizontal and vertical directions, we ...

A boy kicks a ball horizontally over the edge of a cliff with a speed of \(6ms^{-1}\) as shown in the diagram. The ball hits the surface of the water \(3s\) later. (a) Calculate the vertical speed of ...
