Air resistance models attempt to model more realistic projectile behavior when the force of contact with the air contributes appreciably to the motion. While there are many specific air resistance ...

This Python script simulates and visualizes projectile motion under three different drag conditions: No Drag Force (Fr = 0): The projectile follows an ideal parabolic trajectory where only gravity ...

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 ...

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Holland is a former gymnast and dancer (he played Billy Elliot onstage in London as a kid), so he has the chops to do a lot of his own ...

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 ...
