Fundamentals Of Ballistics
Fundamentals Of Ballistics is a United States Army training film from the late 1940's which explains the principles of physics involved in the design and functioning of weapons and ammunition. The film has a strong focus towards the artillery applications of ballistic weapons.

MIT 8.01 Classical Mechanics Lecture 9
MIT Physics Course
Professor Walter Lewin
This lecture is just a review of lectures 1 to 5 (for a forthcoming exam). Some examples about scaling, 1-D and 2-D kinematics and uniform circular motion.

MIT 8.01 Classical Mechanics Lecture 4
MIT Physics Course
Professor Walter Lewin
Analysis of the motion of a projectile: time of flight, maximum height, range, experimental verification for angles of 45°, 30° and 60°. From the 35th minute: the well known hunter and monkey problem.

MIT 8.01 Classical Mechanics Lecture 3
MIT Physics Course
Professor Walter Lewin
8.01 Physics I: Classical Mechanics, Fall 1999
This third lecture is mostly about vectors: vector addition, dot product, cross product. In the last 15 minutes: 3-D kinematics: 3-D motion can be described with 3 indenpendant components. Motion of a projectile and, at the 46th minute, experiment showing that horizontal and vertical motion are independant.
