Threatening Asteroids From Space, Part 2

This video explains how to understand motion in 2D by focusing on one dimension at a time and making assumptions about gravity and acceleration. The video also covers how to calculate the trajectory of a projectile, including the X and Y...

Learn how to derive the Range of Projectile. The Horizontal Range of a Projectile is defined as the horizontal displacement of a projectile when the displacement of the projectile in the y-direction is zero.

My strategy for solving any projectile motion problem. You need to split the variables in to the x and y directions and solve for time. Sounds simple and it really is, usually.

This time in our projectile motion problem, we know the displacement in the y-direciton and we are solving for the displacement in the x-direciton. We could you use the quadratic formula and I even show you how, however, I also show you...

Researchers say they’ve figured out how to make sure the next big one does not hit Earth and wipe out humanity.

Figure skating has become one of the most popular events at the Winter Olympics. Head of the Physics Department at the University of Michigan Brad Orr explains that good balance, or stability, is basic to everything a skater does--and...

Can you drop a ball from a moving vehicle and get it to land in a bucket? You can using Physics! In this video we solve an introductory projectile motion problem involving an initial horizontal velocity and predict how far in front of...

This is how you include air resistance in projectile motion. It requires the Drag Force and Numerical Modeling (or the Euler Method). It is also very helpful to use a spreadsheet to do the calculations. I prove a statement from a...

An introductory projectile motion problem where you have to break the initial velocity vector in to its components before you can work with it. The Nerd-A-Pult is the perfect tool for showing projectile motion.

This is only the actual experiment in slow motion with X and Y axis scales to measure exactly where the ball is. The video was filmed at 60 frames per second, which means that each frame is 1/60th of a second apart. (with the exception...

Projectile motion is composed of a horizontal and a vertical component. This video shows that via a side-by-side video demonstration and also builds the velocity and acceleration vector diagram.

Projectile Motion summary

One bullet is fired horizontally and simultaneously a second bullet is dropped from the same height. Neglecting air resistance and assuming the ground is level, which bullet hits the ground first?

"Science of NFL Football" is a 10-part video series funded by the National Science Foundation and produced in partnership with the National Football League. In this segment, NBC's Lester Holt looks at the science of projectile motion...
