Downloading: Some files are large! If you have a dial-up connection, this may mean long download times. It might be more efficient to SAVE the file & open it later, rather than open it directly. It also might be more efficient to go to the ATLC (library basement) & use their direct connections. I've tested all files using both Internet Explorer & Netscape browsers, & all work well.

LARGE File (~ 17 MB)!!
 Needs Quicktime Movie Viewer.
              YouTube links to other, similar vidoes are Here.
NOTE!!
There are HUGE numbers of
              websites devoted to explaning projectile motion! Many have downloadable videos
              designed to help people understand projectiles. For example, putting "Projectile Motion
              Videos" into Google brings up 69,300 hits!! The results of this search
are Here
.
           The emphases in most of these videos are the facts that
             
the vertical motion is THE SAME as free fall & that
           there is NO horizontal acceleration!
