If you are afraid of heights, this is a super scary video. In case you are too afraid to watch it, this dude jumps off the top of a building that is listed at 129 feet and lands in water. But wait!

Suppose you throw some object near the surface of the earth. If the only significant force on the object is the constant downward gravitational force, we call this "projectile motion." Yes, that ...

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...
