Before proceeding, the following subsection provides a reminder of the three main equations of motion for constant acceleration. These equations are used to develop the equations for …

examples of projectiles. A projectile is any object that moves through the air or space, acted on only by gravity (and air resistance, if any). Projectiles near the surface of Earth follow a curved …

How to use vector components (and why?) Equations of projectile motion depend on how you choose the coordinate system.

Draw free-body diagrams for a projectile at various points along its path (with and without air resistance). Calculate the horizontal and vertical components with respect to velocity and …

This simulation with accompanying problem set would be ideal for a digital lab on projectile motion. The worksheet was crafted to help learners stay focused on specific questions limited …

Projectile motion can be treated as two rectilinear motions, one in the horizontal direction experiencing zero acceleration and the other in the vertical direction experiencing constant …

In this lab you will study the motion of a freely-falling projectile, namely a small plastic sphere. Projectile motion, for our purposes, is the motion of an object that has been launched and then …

In this investigation, students study projectile motion by exploring two-dimensional motion and how vectors are used to describe the trajectory of an object.

In this chapter, we aim to understand and explain the parabolic motion of a thrown object, known as projectile motion. Motion in one direction is unrelated to motion in other perpendicular …

Projectile motion is the motion describing the motion of falling objects, or projectiles. Essentially this lab describes the science behind things such as rockets and cannon balls.
