Free Fall and Projectile Motion
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Explores from the dynamic viewpoint the behavior of freely falling bodies, leading to the proportionality of gravitational and inertial mass, the independence of vertical and horizontal components of motion, and the conclusion that Newton's law is a vector relationship. Uses slow-motion photography to study two balls dropped from a moving cart, and objects projected horizontally. Concludes with an analysis and demonstration of the "monkey and gun" problem. Lecture demonstration by Nathaniel H. Frank, M.I.T.
