How did you find PF?

Hello, I'm a high school physics teacher and also working on a PhD in science curriculum and instruction. I've been teaching regular and honors physics for a couple of years and probably will add an A.P. Physics 1 section next year (depending on the school's scheduling priorities). I came across this site looking for help with some online physics resources I have been investigating. I've posted a question about it in the homework thread.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It looks like it was deleted. It would have been nice if the moderator told me why. As far as I can tell, it was posted in the correct forum and I explained how I went about trying to solve it.

Well, in a nutshell - is it possible to use basic algebraic projectile formulas to find out how long a projectile is airborne given only its maximum height and horizontal displacement? A certain website said yes, but didn't show how. I can't figure it out, and every online calculator I've tried is unable to produce an answer with just those two pieces of data.

In fact, you won't even need the horizontal displacement.

It wasn't deleted. It just required approval (triggered by the links you had in the post). I just approved it.
 
Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
