How to learn physics with a sports car icon

This is why we invited Georgia Public Broadcasting over to our Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta to film two video tutorials with them: one on “Speed and acceleration” and the other on “Acceleratio... read more

For kinematic equation problems, what do you do if the unit for acceleration is ''g'', and how do...

In kinematic equation problems, g stands for gravitational acceleration and g = 9.81m/s^2. If you are given an acceleration in terms of g you simply multiply the acceleration by 9.81. For example, let ... read more

Autonomous Driving using Predictive Control Model

It can have both positive values for speeding and negative values for breaking. The Kinematic equations used for updating vehicle state are as follows x t+1 =x t +v t ∗cos(ψ t )∗dt y t+1 =y t +v t ... read more

Launch an 80,000-Pound Sled off an Aircraft Carrier? Sure!

For the vertical motion, the object is accelerating downward such that the position can be determined by the following kinematic equation. In this expression, y is the final vertical position and y 0 ... read more

Predictive Aim Mathematics for AI Targeting

"Open your mind, Quaid! Open your mind!!!" If the perfectly aimed bullet meets the moving target, then we can say that finalPositions will coincide between the kinematic equations for the moving bulle... read more

Measuring The Ridiculous Physics Of Disney's Hercules

With a few assumptions and basic kinematic equations, we can dig a little deeper into Penelope's wild ride through the clouds. Poor Penelope was in the air for 7.7 seconds of screen time. With this me... read more

Trainable Robotic Arm

Depending on your application, it certainly beats trying to work out the fun kinematics equations… Anyway, the full guide available on Adrafuit’s learning system provides instructions on how to build ... read more

Ski jump landing and acceleration

In that video, the jumper takes about 1.5 seconds to get from the highest point to the landing. Using some kinematic equations, (or the work-energy principle) I can find a couple of useful things. How ... read more

An Exhaustive Fact-Check Of That 0-60 In 2.3 Seconds (Off A Cliff) Sticker

we can compute that to reach 60 MPH (or 88 feet per second), we’ll need to accelerate for about 2.74 seconds (that’s just your basic “final velocity equals initial velocity plus acceleration times tim... read more
