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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It is that FIRST Robotics competition time of the year. Basically, in FIRST, high school students work in teams to build robots that compete in specific tasks. Apparently, this year a task involves ...

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 ...

Learn how to simulate and analyze projectile motion with Projectile Motion Calculations in Python – A Practical Guide. This tutorial demonstrates step-by-step physics calculations using Python, ...

In this video, we solve a classic AP Physics 1 ramp to projectile motion problem step by step, showing how energy, kinematics, and motion concepts connect. Ideal for exam prep and for students looking ...
