Season 2 Episode 405 | 30m 1s Projectile Motion: The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Students learn to describe horizontal and vertical components of a projectile’s motion.

Actually, projectile motion is now two labs. In the first lab, the goal is to measure the launch speed (with uncertainty) and then the second lab looks at projectile motion.

Projectile motion problems can easily become algebra problems that focus on identifying the right number in a diagram and substituting it into the correct equation.

In the Projectile Motion episode of NBC Learn's "The Science of NFL Football," you see that punted footballs travel in an arc known to mathematicians as a parabola.

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 ...
