Projectile motion. Get a grip!
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 paragliders. 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.
