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 ...

I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

The horizontal speed of a projectile is constant for the duration of its flight. This is because, once launched, there are no horizontal forces acting on the projectile (air resistance is usually ...
