Is Launch Angle Actually Important in Baseball?
Launch angle in baseball is misunderstood. In this video, let's clear up hitting myths about "launch angle swings," which hitters should lift the ball, and who can benefit from getting increased air under the ball.

Conservation of Momentum using Unit Vectors
A 66.0 g ball is launched from a stationary Nerd-A-Pult on wheels. The total mass of the Nerd-A-Pult on wheels is 1,791 g. If the ball moves with a velocity of -351 i + 179 j cm/s right after launching, what is the velocity of the...

Special Relativity Part 3: Length Contraction
Time dilation was pretty weird, huh? Well we aren't done yet! Time is relative, and so is space! Different observers measure different lengths for objects and journeys. Weird stuff!
