3-D Kinematics, The Motion of Projectiles

3-D Kinematics, The Motion of Projectiles: This lecture is all about motion of projectiles (if air drag can be ignored). The objects experience a constant vertical acceleration due to the acceleration of gravity (see also Lecture 12). Professor Lewin reviews the equations for projectile motion, showing that the trajectory is a parabola. He continues with a demonstration that shows how to measure the initial speed of a projectile and how to reach maximum horizontal distance shooting a ball.
