Physics derivation of the range equation for projectile motion—understand how the formula for maximum horizontal distance is derived from fundamental principles. This video walks through the kinematic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Kinematics Equation: The branch of physics that defines motion concerning space and time, ignoring the cause of that motion, is known as Kinematics. Kinematics equations are a set of formulas used in ...
