AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C: Mech (Part 7: Projectile Motion Introduction) | Office Hours with Al

The plan for this stream was to introduce the topic of projectile motion. We went over the basic case and saw how our previous discussions of vectors and kinematics come together to create our strategy for solving projectile motion problems. We spent the rest of our time going over several basic projectile problems.
