2D Projectile Motion - IB Physics

A projectile is any object moving through the air with only the force of gravity acting on it. 2D projectile motion means the motion of a projectile in both the up-down and left-right axis. We can use simple kinematics to solve for missing information about projectiles, because the motion on each axis is independent of the motion on the other. I end the video with 3 examples of using 2D kinematics to solve problems.

Thank you sir! You have saved my grade in hl

thank you very much! these topics still apply for 2025 syllabus though, right?

Hello Sir, For this part 10:41 why I cannot use the equation Vf=Vo+a(downward)t? If I plug in the numbers into the formula, the same answer as you doesn't come out..
