If you are afraid of heights, this is a super scary video. In case you are too afraid to watch it, this dude jumps off the top of a building that is listed at 129 feet and lands in water. But wait!

I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

In this video, we dive into how to solve projectile motion problems using the quadratic formula! From calculating the height and distance to finding the time of flight, we’ll show you how to apply the ...

In this video, we introduce the fundamentals of kinematics in 2D, focusing on projectile motion. Learn how to break down the horizontal and vertical components of motion, apply key equations, and ...

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 ...

Brush up on your projectile motion knowledge and understanding with our National 5 Physics revision article.

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 ...

The Office of Naval Research is getting ready to deploy their electromagnetic Railgun for testing for the first time next year. But what is a gun without ammo? The Hyper Velocity Projectile is being ...
