Comparison of Classical and Modern Physics by comparing Structure of Atom & Projectile Motion


In this lecture, we compare Classical and Modern Physics using Structure of Atom and Projectile Motion. Simply put - certainty versus probability is the fundamental difference in approach.

Projectile Motion Equations Derivation


In this lecture ,we study that Projectile motion can be represented by a Quadratic Equation; the quadratic equation in turn will have a parabolic graph. We derive Time of flight / Horizontal Range / Maximum Height and the general equation of motion of projectile. We also understand why sin2θ=2sinθcosθ.
