The Nature of Gravity: Projectile Motion in Constant Gravity - Part 2

Richard Behiel via YouTube

Overview

Explore projectile motion and constant gravity near Earth's surface in this physics video lecture, part of The Nature of Gravity series. Examine how objects behave during freefall and when thrown, starting with basic height decrease analysis before advancing to vectorized equations for parabolic motion. Master the mathematical framework needed to solve range problems through practical examples like cannonball trajectories. Build upon concepts from the first video in the series while diving deep into Newtonian gravity principles, supported by calculus-based explanations and real-world applications.
