Projectile Motion: Get a Grip!

Product Description

Presenting a cornerstone of physics, this program explores the motion of projectiles under gravity – initially in one dimension and then in two – through the examples of juggling balls, as well as stunt bikes and para-gliders. Frequent summaries are combined with convenient cues to pause the program and allow students to apply their knowledge. Topics include: motion under constant acceleration, parabolic path of a projectile, resolving projectile motion into horizontal and vertical components, calculating air resistance using force vectors, and appropriate formulas for describing the path of any object in motion.
