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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The idea of the project is to illustrate the physical concept of projectile motion through a simple animation and a fun game!The mathematical equations of motion will be worked into a Python program ...

Have you ever sat down and thought “I wonder if a trebuchet could launch a projectile at supersonic speeds?” Neither have we. That’s what separates [David Eade] from the rest of us. He didn’t just ask ...

The Internet loves a great video. In today's clip we see José Ramírez of the Cleveland Indians sliding into second base. But wait! His hat (I'm calling it a hat, not a helmet, because no one has a ...

Boys have a natural advantage at physics because their ability to ‘pee’ up walls helps then understand projectile motion, academics have controversially claimed. So-called ‘playful urination practices ...
