This study aimed to help by creating a virtual laboratory for those who want to examine the projectile motion of mechanical physics. In this way, less costly virtual laboratory simulations were ...

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 ...

As the name suggests, horizontal motion occurs when the object is thrown horizontally, meaning it starts with zero vertical velocity. The only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to ...

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: Coil gun multistage is used to launch a projectile. To increase the velocity of the projectile can be done by adding the number of stages or the number of layers, but it can't control ...

It is that FIRST Robotics competition time of the year. Basically, in FIRST, high school students work in teams to build robots that compete in specific tasks. Apparently, this year a task involves ...

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 ...
