Hello, I am a certified High School Physics Teacher employed by a local school district. I was attempting to pursue a Masters of Ed in Sec Ed. Physics at a local university, when after completing a full semester, I was then informed that I would be unable to complete such a program...because...

What instead of a double peak it would have plateaued then peaked? This, which others have mentioned, is affected by the observer. If there was a thermal pattern pushing air upward from the instance the rock leaves the hand thrown this would have added to the vertical velocity. After the...

So...if shot from a completely horizontal position and no air resistance...it would be the same. With air resistance the bullet that covers a longer distance would have less effect/velocity/impact

Today I had a question from a student that made me think. Maybe I am just over thinking this. We were discussing the independent nature of horizontal and vertical components of motion. This was done through shooting a dart gun. We came to the conclusion that (without air resistance) the...
