We calculate the average speed of a projectile in the absence of air resistance, a quantity that is missing from the treatment of the problem in the literature. We then show that this quantity is ...

This study aimed to help by creating a virtual laboratory for those who want to examine the projectile motion of mechanical physics. In this way, less costly virtual laboratory simulations were ...

Projectile motion describes how objects move through the air after being launched, like when a ball is thrown or an arrow fired. After launching, the only force acting on the projectile is gravity ...
