Learn how to calculate the maximum projectile range using Python! This step-by-step tutorial guides you through coding the physics equations, simulating projectile motion, and visualizing results.

I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

As the name suggests, horizontal motion occurs when the object is thrown horizontally, meaning it starts with zero vertical velocity. The only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to ...

Oh yes. I know I already did this. However, it was a long time ago with crappy looking graphs. I can do better. The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) ...
