The low loft of a golf driver is very surprising from the perspective of physics. Everyone in freshman physics learns that the optimal launch angle for a projectile - the angle that makes a ball ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

For basic projectile motion, the assumption is that the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force. This may work well if you toss a marble, but clearly doesn't work when you toss ...
