Introduction to Projectile Motion

My strategy for solving any projectile motion problem. You need to split the variables in to the x and y directions and solve for time. Sounds simple and it really is, usually.

You're better than my phd physics teacher in school

This channel is the hidden gem of YT. It's not your average monotonous information physics video or the video that has nice graphics but limited information, it's the combination of both.

[monisharkkk]

timeless explanation!! what an amazing job

[Nicholas]

This guy is a lifesaver. These vids make physics so much more understandable.

[aeronpauldaliva]

This channel deserves more subs. I understand it so so easily.

High production value. Engaging presentation. Precise terminology and consistent justification of assumptions. You are making some of the most consistently high quality physics education videos out there. Thanks. I can't wait to use these with my students next year. Great job.

With the scissors, are you hinting that in the last video in the series you are going to shave your hair?

I have been really, really scared of physics, but your unique approach and flow of thought with regard to these concepts help a newbie like me to learn very well!

Thank you, Mr. P. I will continue to watch these videos, 50% for fun and 50% for the joy of learning as if I belong to your classroom.

Just starting to cover projectile motion with my students and tips for them on how to approach projectile motion problems are always good. Fun and comprehensive. Thanks.

I love these video series - the actors are hilarious - great students. I love it

[SK-knpl]

this is one of the best educational videos I've ever seen on youtube

[joeymartinez]

These videos are momumemtal. A real prize for those in Ap Physics

[morganabbotts]

So more engaging than my physics classroom :(

[rijabakhtawar]

You're creative and informative. Thankyou for saving the lives of many confused students like me and taking time to make these videos

[sirrismendozasunlessrealms]

You know... this is passion. You sir, have created your own form of art.

[thebread]

This is next level teaching right here. Hope you get picked up by major news someday or something gives you the hype you deserve

[naseefbro]

I appreciate the energy and time which were put in this video

[nurrahmanpurwanto]

4:14, I think in that environment The Vx is not constant, Due to air resistance the Vx0 (Beginning) > Vxa (At point a), The Vx is constant IF There is no air around the projectile (Vacuum Condition)

[Jesus.saved.me]

You’re too funny, it makes me enjoy watching the lecture!!

[rakshenvenkateswaran]

Thank you so much. I have been watching you since you had around 1000 subs. You have helped me ace the AP physics 1 final with all your videos relating to AP Physics 1. Thank you so much for taking your time and making these videos. Much love ❤️👍

[aditipatra]

Nice explanation and your hair's pretty
