Kinematics Part 3: Projectile Motion
Things don't always move in one dimension, they can also move in two dimensions. And three as well, but slow down buster! Let's do two dimensions first. You know, like a cannonball. Isn't this getting fun?

The Reality of our first Free Body Diagram
The free body diagram we first learn is not entirely accurate. All of the forces are not drawn from the center of mass of the object. Learn why we start this way and, when we get torque, what the free body diagrams will actually look...

Center of Mass Introduction
Center of mass is defined and demonstrated in projectile motion. We demonstrate what happens when you push at or near the center of mass. The center of mass of a Feeble is demonstrated. And the “Hang Test” is used to find the center of...

STEMbite: Projectile Motion of Abby's Arrow
Projectile motion is seen in action as Andrew's niece, Abby, practices archery. This is a nice demonstration since most video clips that you can find online are actually just animations. That being said, there is nothing more to this...
