The Physics Classroom: Vectors and Projectiles: The Truck and the Ball

Curated by ACT

Imagine a pickup truck moving with a constant speed along a city street. In the course of its motion, a ball is projected straight upwards by a launcher located in the bed of the truck (with no air resistance). This animation depicts the path of the ball and the truck; additionally, the velocity components are represented by arrows.
