Projectile Motion: Finding the Optimal Launch Angle
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the physics of projectile motion and discover the optimal launch angle for maximum range in this 20-minute video tutorial. Learn how to calculate the trajectory of a ball thrown from an initial height of 2 meters with a launch velocity of 10 m/s, assuming no air resistance. Gain hands-on experience by examining and understanding the provided Python code, which demonstrates the principles discussed. This video is part of a comprehensive playlist covering introductory physics topics based on the free OpenStax College Physics textbook. Enhance your understanding of algebra-based physics concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios through practical examples and problem-solving techniques.
