Join us in this enlightening video as we explore the fascinating world of projectiles and their optimal launch angles. We dive into the physics behind how a fixed initial speed affects the range of a projectile and why, for most angles, there are two choices that yield the same range. Delve into factors that affect an archer's ability to hit a target, including wind, and learn why a smaller angle, closer to the horizontal, is often preferable. Discover when and why a larger angle may be necessar

Watch as we explore the fascinating world of thermal expansion in this video. We start with a glass filled to the brim with 350.0 mL of water at a scorching 100.0°C, and then witness the magic unfold as the temperature decreases to a cool 20.0°C. But the real question is, how much more water can we add to the glass? Join us to find out!
