Projectile motion describes how objects move through the air after being launched, like when a ball is thrown or an arrow fired. After launching, the only force acting on the projectile is gravity ...

Oh yes. I know I already did this. However, it was a long time ago with crappy looking graphs. I can do better. The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) ...

Suppose you throw some object near the surface of the earth. If the only significant force on the object is the constant downward gravitational force, we call this "projectile motion." Yes, that ...

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 ...

Abstract: Aiming at the influence of various external factors on the range of projectile launching, and the problems of time error accumulation and precision decline ...
