Solving Projectile Motion with Backyard Fireworks

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This physics lesson uses the engaging real-world context of fireworks to teach students how to solve complex projectile motion problems. The video begins with a humorous hook about backyard fireworks before transitioning into the serious mathematics required to ensure safety at professional shows. It breaks down the physics of a projectile launched at an angle, specifically focusing on decomposing velocity vectors into horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components using trigonometry.
