I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Projectile Motion: The terms projectile and trajectory are introduced. Students learn to describe horizontal and vertical components of a projectile ...

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 ...

Basically, the title says it all. Here is a short tutorial on projectile motion calculations with a spreadsheet. New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange ...

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 ...

The latest version of the widely used shock wave physics computer code, CTH, developed by Sandia National Laboratories, will soon be available to customers nationwide. The code simulates high-speed ...
