Projectile Motion

Hit a bullseye with an engaging presentation about the components of projectile motion. Viewers see how horizontal and vertical motion combine to create the parabolic path of projectile motion.

Have you ever wanted to shoot someone out of a canon? This simulation gives you that chance! In addition to a human, you can shoot a car, a piano, a cannon ball, and many other items. Scholars set the angle, initial speed, mass, air...

Continuing with projectile motion problems, the video shows how to play the game called how fast was the ball that you threw upwards. [9:33]

An interactive simulation that teaches about kinematics, air resistance, and parabolic curve by shooting a car out of a cannon while trying to hit a target. Observe how changes in angle, initial speed, mass, air resistance, and drag...

Video presents an example of solving for the final velocity when you know the change in distance, time, initial velocity, and acceleration. [9:04]

Video tutorial shows how to solve for time when you are given the change in distance, acceleration, and initial velocity. [8:57]

Video shows how to use the equations of motion to figure out things about falling objects. [9:08]

Video presents a derivation of a new motion equation. [9:14]

Students are introduced to the concept of projectile motion, of which they are often familiar from life experiences,such as playing sports such as basketball or baseball, even though they may not understand the physics involved. Students...
