PhysicsHigh | What You Think You Know About Projectiles Is Wrong @PhysicsHigh | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 11 hours ago
Teachers in school teach that projectile motion forms a parabolic shape.
But is that really true?
I argue that it's not, with evidence to support it. But I use the argument that when we teach anything in physics (and science in general) we, as teachers and scientists, are always making models of concepts, which by their very nature, are simplifications. And thus there is a reason why we teach that way.
