But the effect of gravity should look the same. Now, if we put this vertical acceleration together with the fixed horizontal velocity, we get something special, called projectile motion.

A dude jumping on a moving trampoline is a great excuse to dive into the unexpected properties of projectile motion.

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 ...

Boys have a natural advantage at physics because their ability to ‘pee’ up walls helps then understand projectile motion, academics have controversially claimed. So-called ‘playful urination ...
