Explore projectile motion in two dimensions with detailed derivations, formulas, and solved numericals. Understand how horizontal and vertical components shape the parabolic trajectory under gravity

"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...

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...

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.

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...

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

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

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...

Learn how to use parametric equations to solve projectile motion problems in this informative and engaging video. We’ll explore the concepts of initial speed, angle of projection, and height above the horizontal to model the path of a...

This content analyzes the projectile motion of a ball thrown towards a wall. It details how to calculate the height at which the ball hits the wall, its horizontal and vertical velocity components at impact, and determines whether the...

Given an initial velocity of 3.25 meters per second at an angle of 61.7 degrees above the horizontal. We can predict how far vertically down a projectile will have gone after it has gone a distance of 0.93 meters. Which will make it land...

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?

Lesson 3 (2D Motion & Kinematics) of Dianna's Intro Physics Class on Physics Girl. Never taken physics before? Want to learn the basics of physics? Need an AP Physics 1 review before the exam? This course is for you! Exercises in this...

Explore Torricelli’s Theorem in a real-world experiment with a rain barrel! Learn how to derive the equation, calculate fluid speed, and apply it to projectile motion to predict where water will land. This hands-on demonstration brings...

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...

What is the minimum angular speed necessary to keep water in a vertically revolving bucket? The rope radius is 0.77 m.

Yes, water stays in the bucket. Would you like to know why? Watch the video and learn!

We need to know the initial velocity of a projectile leaving the Nerd-A-Pult. That means we need the initial speed and the initial angle. This video shows exactly how I measured both.

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...

I've seen it a thousand times. Students understand everything during class, but then when it comes time to try the problems on a test, they draw a blank. You just need a solid strategy, and lots of practice! Take a look at this.

How to find the center of mass of an irregularly shaped, flat object.
