Maybe you have noticed how much material there was (for me at least) in last week's MythBusters. One of the myths they looked at was the bus jumping over a gap in the road from the movie Speed. I am ...

Abstract: This study proposes an adaptive control for a projectile aimed at intercepting a target by considering angular dynamics of the projectile. A complete model is built to understand the effect ...

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 ...

A JavaFX application used to generate graphs representing simple 2-D projectile motion and analyze the trajectory parameters in real time.

ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the computational solution to the problem of projectile motion under a significant linear drag effect. The drag force acting on the particle within the medium of ...

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 ...
