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 ...

Why does a projectile follow a perfect curve through the air? 🎯 This video explains projectile motion by deriving the parabolic trajectory, using kinematics and constant acceleration to show how ...

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 ...

Master the fundamental techniques of classical mechanics to analyze and solve projectile motion problems with confidence. In this video, we break down key concepts such as kinematics, velocity, ...

Newton’s 3rd Law is introduced in this lesson and applied to everyday situations. Newton’s Third Law: Newton’s 3rd Law is introduced in this lesson, and the law is applied to everyday situations.

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 ...

WE are told in the Preface to this work that “the consideration of the motion of a projectile naturally divides itself into three parts—first, its motion in the bore of the gun; second, its motion ...
