Projectile Motion - Kinematics in Two Dimensions

Chad's Prep via YouTube

Overview

Dive into a comprehensive 36-minute video lesson on projectile motion, focusing on kinematics motion in two dimensions. Begin with a review of two 1-dimensional kinematics problems, exploring constant velocity in the x-dimension and uniform acceleration in the y-dimension. Discover how projectile motion combines these concepts and learn to treat x and y dimensions independently in problem-solving. Explore classic examples to calculate a projectile's time of flight, maximum height, and range. Practice your skills with three real-world scenarios: a baseball hit, a stone thrown off a building, and an arrow fired at a building. Enhance your understanding of general physics through this in-depth exploration of projectile motion principles.
