Physics heresy: Projectiles don’t actually make parabolas

Taught in every introductory physics class for centuries, the parabola is only an imperfect approximation of the true path of a projectile. #Projectile #Projectiles #ProjectileMotion #Parabola #Approximation #Physics #Heresy #Parabolas

#emacs geeks:

#projectile question:
my current project has a "tag" model with associated files that live under

`app/views/tags`

Projectile refuses to include this directory or anything in it in "Find file in project" list.

Halp?

Got back from three days diving into #emacs with @fniessen from @emacsboost ; learning so much about #orgmode #projectile #helm #kbdmacros etc. Great learning experience with key combinations that gonna stick

fizzy projectile…

The first tool of all might've been a sling for the baby to keep their hands free - but then they reached for the #atlatl.

In 1960, Richard M. Sutton wrote a paper describing a simple experiment: "If a mass slides down an inclined plane and gets launched with angle \(\alpha\), the range doesn't depend on g (acceleration due to gravity) - it's the same on Earth or Mars." https://aapt.scitation.org/doi/10.1119/1.1936008
