In this video, I show that firing a projectile has a maximum total distance traveled in the air when the launch angle is approximately 56°. This is 11° higher than the 45° angle needed to maximize the

Extensive tutorial on deriving the launch angle to maximize the total distance, not just horizontal distance, that a projectile travels in the air.

In this video, I go over the physics of a ball rolling off a table and determine how far it falls, the angle and speed it bounces with, and the distance it travels for a second bounce after losing 80%

In this video, I go over projectile motion along an inclined plane and show that the launch angle that gives the maximum range upwards or downwards is half the angle between the plane and the vertical.

Firing a projectile up or down an inclined plane goes the furthest when the launch angle is half the angle between the plane and the vertical!

In this video, I show that firing a projectile while aiming at a distance target downrange and dropping it at the same time will always cause the projectile to hit the target, provided that the projectile

Analyzing projectile motion of an object launched from the origin and analyzing its maximum height, flight path, and ability to hit distant targets.
