Up until now we’ve been able to avoid some of the more math-heavy simulations. While projectile motion can include some very intense calculations, I promise to keep things simple throughout this chapter (the really tricky stuff is coming later).
Projectile motion is the kind of motion experienced by objects that are thrown, ejected, or launched. If we know an object’s initial speed, angle, and direction of movement, we can perform some calculations to predict where it will end up.
Thinking About Gravity
Gravity affects everything around us. This applies to the entire universe. Newton’s first law ...
