The physics don’t care. You launch with a certain velocity, which we can break into horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal velocity, per Newton, never changes.
Season 2 Episode 405 | 30m 1s Projectile Motion: The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Students learn to describe horizontal and vertical components of a projectile’s motion.
The last time I looked at this projectile motion lab, I was confused. My different methods for measuring the launch speed of the ball were not even close to being consistent. So, I am bringing out ...
Projectile motion problems can easily become algebra problems that focus on identifying the right number in a diagram and substituting it into the correct equation.
Boys have a natural advantage at physics because their ability to ‘pee’ up walls helps then understand projectile motion, academics have controversially claimed. So-called ‘playful urination ...
