Free Fall and Projectile Motion

Duration: 12:00

Year Published: 1960

Complete Record: Explores the behavior of freely falling bodies from a dynamic point of view, leading to the proportionality of gravitational and inertial mass, the independence of perpendicular components of a motion, and the conclusion that Newton's Law is a vector relationship. Includes a slow-motion study of two balls simultaneously dropped and projected horizontally from the same height, and experiments with a large monkey gun.
