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 ...

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 ...

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 Python script simulates and visualizes the trajectory of a projectile launched at an angle with a given initial velocity. Projectile motion is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, ...

Classical mechanics lies at the heart of physics! You should have already met Newton's laws and the resulting equations of motion in your studies and will revisit them in the Foundations of Physics ...

The projectile will be launched from a trebuchet, so it needs high survivability. The goal is for Mr. Manning to be able to use the projectile to demonstrate projectile motion in his physics classes, ...

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 ...

Abstract: This study explores the use of Virtual Reality (VR) as a novel educational tool for high school students who struggle with physics. It introduces functions to enhance the understanding of ...
