Projectile motion is a fascinating aspect of physics that deals with the behavior of objects launched through the air. It can be used to predict the trajectory and landing points of objects ranging ...

Maybe you have noticed how much material there was (for me at least) in last week's MythBusters. One of the myths they looked at was the bus jumping over a gap in the road from the movie Speed. I am ...
