In this introductory free-fall acceleration problem we analyze a video of a medicine ball being dropped to determine the final velocity and the time in free-fall. Included are three common mistakes students make. "Why include...

Review of all of the Kinematics topics covered in the AP Physics 1 curriculum. Plus some bonus introductory stuff.

Learn how to use the Conservation of Mechanical Energy equation by solving a trebuchet problem.

Solving a basic projectile motion problem using unit vectors.

Lesson 5 (Free Body Diagrams) of Dianna's Intro Physics Class on Physics Girl. Never taken physics before? Want to learn the basics of physics? Need an AP Physics 1 review before the exam? This course is for you! Exercises in this video:...

What is the minimum angular speed necessary to keep water in a vertically revolving bucket? The rope radius is 0.77 m.

In physics many students discover that they need to learn to understand the material rather than memorize it. This video discusses and shows examples of the differences between the two.

When I throw a massive ball to the left such that it lands in the other end of the canoe, what will happen to the positions of the objects? What if the ball does not land in the canoe?

We draw a free body diagram and sum the forces on an object in projectile motion to prove the acceleration due to gravity, g, is positive. Want Lecture Notes?f='http://www.flippingphysics.com/g-is-p...' target='_blank'...

What is the equation of motion of a particle that has a drag force acting on it? It's important to note that we've assumed that the drag force is proportional to the velocity at all times. In reality, other factors are involved too like...

Given certain parameters, how would you solve this other problem?<br/>

Unit vectors and the derivative are used to determine the velocity and acceleration of an object from the object’s r position vector. The motion is identified as Uniformly Accelerated Motion.

The Horizontal Range of a Projectile is defined as the horizontal displacement of a projectile when the displacement of the projectile in the y-direction is zero. This video explains how to use the equation, why a launch angle of 45°...

How would you describe the motion of a baseball being thrown? What is the weight of gravity in meters per second?<br/>

My strategy for solving any projectile motion problem. You need to split the variables in to the x and y directions and solve for time. Sounds simple and it really is, usually.

This is much more personal than my average video. I talk about my spelling inadequacies. (yes, i just spelled inadiquacies incorrectly, spell check fixed it, arg.) I use it as a tool to talk about admitting you don't understand as an...

Catapults were mighty handy for pirates in the golden age of piracy (during the 17th century). And medieval knights used them centuries earlier for taking down massive castle walls. Even Greeks and Romans used catapults about 2,000 years...
