Modeling Projectile Motion: How Far Can a Football Be Thrown From a Building?
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the physics behind Peyton Manning's impressive football throw from a tall building in this engaging video analysis. Dive into the principles of projectile motion, comparing theoretical calculations without air resistance to more realistic models incorporating air drag. Learn to use computational tools to simulate and visualize the trajectory of the football, gaining insights into how factors like initial velocity, launch angle, and air resistance affect the throw's range. Examine the provided code examples and supplementary blog post to deepen your understanding of real-life projectile motion and its mathematical representation.
