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 ...

Suppose you throw some object near the surface of the earth. If the only significant force on the object is the constant downward gravitational force, we call this "projectile motion." Yes, that ...

This is an acceleration physics test WITH ANSWERS, which is 4 pages long, with a 2 page the answer key. There are 10 multiple choice questions and 4 short answer questions (with multiple parts). This ...

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 ...

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 ...

This bundle contains 4 physics acceleration tests WITH ANSWERS. Each accelerated motion physics test contains 10 multiple choice questions and 4 short answer questions (with multiple parts). Each of ...

When charged particles are shot through ultra-thin layers of material, sometimes spectacular micro-explosions occur, and sometimes the material remains almost intact. The reasons for this have now ...

This is the second in a series of “five amazing physics demonstrations” presented by science-demo guru Neil Downie. In addition to his day job in industrial science, Downie has run Saturday science ...
