Follow us at @mechengineering101 Credit to @makesciencefun Projectile motion. No special effects or editing. A stream of water flows out of a narrow rube. Out of shot the water passes through a soft straw that is squeezed by a ticker taper timer at 50 hertz. A strobe light is then set at 50 hertz, making the water drops appear to freeze. Galileo found that with projectile motion the horizontal velocity remains constant (hence the horizontal distance between drops is constant), only the vertical velocity changes due to gravity (hence the vertical distance increases). #science #makesciencefun #projectilemotion #lego #minifig #physics #projectile #motion #velocity #MechEngineering101 #EngineeringStudent #Engineering #MechanicalEngineer #InstaEngineer #Engineer #EngineeringLife #Math #Physics #EngineeringProblems #Science #Technology #Innovation (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9VfzQjJAI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oe65qzhvcnaf
