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 ...

This project aims at comparison of the motion of a projectile thrown at an angle to the horizon with zero vs quadratic air drag force.

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 ...

Basically, the title says it all. Here is a short tutorial on projectile motion calculations with a spreadsheet. New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange ...

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 ...

In the previous section we have seen that a projectile will follow a very predictable curved path in air. However when the projectile is given a greater speed, it goes further. The reality of the ...
