The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Projectile Motion: The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Students learn to describe horizontal and vertical components of a projectile ...

This is a grade 11 physics power point that describes projectile motion. The topics include using the kinematic equations to solve for distance, displacement, speed, initial velocity, final velocity ...

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 ...

Worksheet on calculations involving projectile motion, moving from simple calculating max height through to more complicated questions involving finding the initial velocity or angle. Both projectiles ...

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 ...

Suppose you throw some object near the surface of the earth. If the only significant force on the object is the constant downward gravitational force, we call this "projectile motion." Yes, that ...

Adding a soft, springy material to a solid projectile leads to a threefold increase in kinetic energy when the projectile is launched upward. Launch sequence. A lineup of plastic projectiles is ...
