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 ...

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 ...

You might think this is a video showing the testing of the electromagnetic catapult system for an aircraft carrier, but you are wrong. No, this is a video of a near-perfect example of a real physics ...

Aaron Pinski, a science teacher at Bloomington Kennedy, and Jack Netland, a retired Maple Grove High School physics teacher, provided visual examples of projectile motion, collisions, mass, inertia ...
