Maybe you have noticed how much material there was (for me at least) in last week's MythBusters. One of the myths they looked at was the bus jumping over a gap in the road from the movie Speed. I am ...

Projectile motion is a fascinating aspect of physics that deals with the behavior of objects launched through the air. It can be used to predict the trajectory and landing points of objects ranging ...

Context: There were many open-source projects on finding the distance of a projectile motion launched at a certain angle with or without drag. However, in the Robogrinder Club at VT, we had to figure ...

This repository contains three different versions of a projectile motion simulation implemented in Python. Each version calculates and visualizes the trajectory of a projectile launched with a ...

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 ...

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 ...

WE are told in the Preface to this work that “the consideration of the motion of a projectile naturally divides itself into three parts—first, its motion in the bore of the gun; second, its motion ...

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 ...
