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 ...

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 ...

Here is a great question from a reader (rephrased a bit): I have in my possession a device from Noah Basketball and it measures the approach angle of a basketball at the rim using a video camera. *The ...

In the previous section we have seen that a projectile will follow a very predictable curved path in air. However when the projectile is given a greater speed, it goes further. The reality of the ...

ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the computational solution to the problem of projectile motion under a significant linear drag effect. The drag force acting on the particle within the medium of ...

A 2-dimensional projectile motion simulator built with Java swing. This project utilizes core object-oriented design concepts like the observer design pattern to develop an interactive graphical user ...

Projectile motion is a fascinating aspect of physics that deals with the behavior of objects launched through the air. It can be used to predict the trajectory and landing points of objects ranging ...
