Projectile Motion

This video is a video of me throwing a calculator. I took this video to show an example of projectile motion. Projectile motion is when an object is moving in both the x and y axis. As you can see the calculator is moving up and down as well as left and right. Therefore it is moving in both axis. Projectile motion is actually very interesting and it is around more then we think. For example a ball being thrown is also undergoing projectile motion. A person jumping from point A to point B is also projectile motion. In class this week we learned multiple different ways to find out certain measurements having to deal with projectile motion. Projectile motion can be actually beneficial in everyday life because it can help us further understand how things move and certain factors to it.
