How would you describe the motion of a baseball being thrown? What is the weight of gravity in meters per second?<br/>
Projectile Motion, Part 1

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.

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.

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...

What are the equations needed to solve for the Y direction?<br/>
Projectile Motion, Part 3

This content provides a detailed analysis of a projectile motion problem, using the scenario of an "angry bird" passing over two posts. It demonstrates how to determine the time of flight to reach a specific height using vertical...

"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...

Projectile Motion summary

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 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...

What is the horizontal distance the cannon ball moves? There are a few ways to approach this problem. I personally strongly recommend applying the fundamental formulas directly rather than get used to the projectile motion formulas -...

Given certain parameters, how would you solve this problem?<br/>
Projectile Motion, Part 4

Given certain parameters, how would you solve this other problem?<br/>
Projectile Motion, Part 5

This content details the analysis of a bomb's projectile motion released from a diving aircraft. It explains how to determine the time the bomb remains in the air and the initial height of release by breaking down the aircraft's initial...

What are the equations needed to solve for the X direction?<br/>
Projectile Motion, Part 2

Projectile motion components demonstrated: constant velocity in x, free all in y.

This video demonstrates the principle of conservation of energy by solving a physics problem that determines the velocity of a ball at two different points during its projectile motion. It illustrates how mechanical energy remains...

This content solves a multi-part physics problem involving a solid ball that first rolls smoothly along a horizontal path, then up a ramp onto a plateau, and finally launches horizontally to land at a specific distance. It demonstrates...

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. This video explains how to use the equation, why a launch angle of 45°...
