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 ...

The last time I looked at this projectile motion lab, I was confused. My different methods for measuring the launch speed of the ball were not even close to being consistent. So, I am bringing out the ...

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 ...
