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 ...

In this video, we introduce the fundamentals of kinematics in 2D, focusing on projectile motion. Learn how to break down the horizontal and vertical components of motion, apply key equations, and ...

The Office of Naval Research is getting ready to deploy their electromagnetic Railgun for testing for the first time next year. But what is a gun without ammo? The Hyper Velocity Projectile is being ...

In a previous post, I was trying to show that the range of a projectile depends on the launch angle. Yes, this isn't that too difficult to see in an introductory physics course, but how do you show ...

Archery and target shooting with firearms and air guns are just a few of the many sports and pastimes that involve high-speed projectiles. Try this measurement technique. Archery and target shooting ...

One of the SCO’s priorities was adapting technology from “railguns”. Such guns use neither explosives nor propellant, but instead rely on electromagnetic forces to fire projectiles at speeds of up to ...
