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 ...

If you are afraid of heights, this is a super scary video. In case you are too afraid to watch it, this dude jumps off the top of a building that is listed at 129 feet and lands in water. But wait!

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

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 ...
