ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the computational solution to the problem of projectile motion under a significant linear drag effect. The drag force acting on the particle within the medium of ...

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 ...

Maybe you have noticed how much material there was (for me at least) in last week's MythBusters. One of the myths they looked at was the bus jumping over a gap in the road from the movie Speed. I am ...

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 ...

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 ...
