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 ...

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 ...

When an object is given an initial velocity and is affected by gravitational acceleration and air resistance, it follows a specific path known as projectile motion. Athletes often perform this type of ...

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 ...

Enter the initial velocity and launch angle & click OK to start the matplotlib animation. The curved line will go through the projectile's trajectory. The red dot represents the highest point of the ...

A boy kicks a ball horizontally over the edge of a cliff with a speed of \(6ms^{-1}\) as shown in the diagram. The ball hits the surface of the water \(3s\) later. (a) Calculate the vertical speed of ...
