The key to projectile motion is the idea that the vertical motion and the horizontal motion are essentially independent of each other. You can try a very simple (and fun) experiment.

Season 2 Episode 405 | 30m 1s Projectile Motion: The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Students learn to describe horizontal and vertical components of a projectile’s motion.

The key to projectile motion is to realize that the horizontal and vertical motions are independent of each other (except for the time each motion takes).

Projectile motion problems can easily become algebra problems that focus on identifying the right number in a diagram and substituting it into the correct equation.

The idea of the project is to illustrate the physical concept of projectile motion through a simple animation and a fun game!The mathematical equations of motion will be worked into a Python program ...
