As the name suggests, horizontal motion occurs when the object is thrown horizontally, meaning it starts with zero vertical velocity. The only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to ...

Learn how to calculate the maximum projectile range using Python! This step-by-step tutorial guides you through coding the physics equations, simulating projectile motion, and visualizing results.

Learn how to find the range of a projectile launched from a cliff by combining horizontal motion with vertical free-fall. This video walks through the setup, equations, and key steps to solve for time ...

The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Projectile Motion: The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Students learn to describe horizontal and vertical components of a projectile ...

A boy kicks a ball horizontally over the edge of a cliff with a speed of \(6ms^{-1}\) as shown in the diagram. The ball hits the surface of the water \(3s\) later. (a) Calculate the vertical speed of ...

In a previous post, I was trying to show that the range of a projectile depends on the launch angle. Yes, this isn't that too difficult to see in an introductory physics course, but how do you show ...

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...
