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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This Python script simulates and visualizes projectile motion under three different drag conditions: No Drag Force (Fr = 0): The projectile follows an ideal parabolic trajectory where only gravity ...
