Explore the physics behind shot put by breaking down projectile motion and the role of human power. Learn how launch angle, initial velocity, and force application determine distance, and see how real ...

It is that FIRST Robotics competition time of the year. Basically, in FIRST, high school students work in teams to build robots that compete in specific tasks. Apparently, this year a task involves ...

Learn how to calculate the maximum projectile range using Python! This step-by-step tutorial guides you through coding the physics equations, simulating projectile motion, and visualizing results.

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 ...

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 ...
