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 ...

This study aimed to help by creating a virtual laboratory for those who want to examine the projectile motion of mechanical physics. In this way, less costly virtual laboratory simulations were ...

When an object is given an initial velocity and is affected by gravitational acceleration and air resistance, it follows a specific path known as projectile motion. Athletes often perform this type of ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

We have examined the recent publication titled “Projectile Motion Analysis in the Presence of Dissipative Forces for the High Speed Regime” [Rev. Bras. Ens. Fis. 45, e20230060 (2023)] and identified ...
