@oboe_learning: This guy does the best demos ever! Professor Walter Lewin demonstrates projectile motion: a thrown object moves forward at a constant speed while gravity pulls it down faster and faster. Those two motions combined create a parabola, the same curve behind every basketball shot, water fountain, and cannonball. Because the forward speed never changes, the path can be predicted and drawn before the object is launched.

it's not that simple in the real world there a many variables that effect results we don't live in a vacuum and space is not a true vacuum

x,y are distance variables, where is time?

The guy just said that I don’t know why you feel you had to re explain

never mind the parabolic, watch him draw a dashed line.

Walter Lewin. His lectures are on YouTube!! The early ones are SUPER approachable

I’ll bet the exams are less fun than the lectures.

Gravity doesn't pull. If you actually still believe in gravity.

This needs to be shown to all the flat earthers that don’t understand the concept of inertia.

I vote for the perfect curve being amazing. At my grown age I am still incapable of drawing a circle

Wait till you see him draw a dotted line on the chalkboard… For an asymptote … he has a lot of lectures online..Llewelyn … Just don’t go look up the reason he had to leave

And :
nah the parabola is too straight at the ends - looks more like a half sine wave. nice attempt though

Why didn’t Bernoullis principal cause the ball to be pushed down into the funnel?

In earths atmosphere, you must take wind resistant into account as well. It’s not steady forward. It will be slowing down which affects the arc of trajectory. The more wind resistance the steeper the arc.

🫠 :
It is a parabola only in a vacuum or when ignoring friction or wind resistance. I think it helps that in his demo the cart and the ball both have similar enough horizontal deceleration that the funnel catches the ball just fine. Typical of physicists tho, "assume an infinite frictionless plane... 😅" or of engineers "assume the horse is a sphere..."
