In support of all the students who are displaced from school due to the Corona virus. Access to physics zone and chemistry zone lessons are now available free of charge. This will be maintained at least through August 1st 2020. Learn and be well.
In this movie, you first see a simulation of a hammer being thrown with no spin. The little circle represents the hammer's center of mass. You notice that the center of mass follows a parabolic path. In the second throw, the hammer is given the same velocity but this time it was also given a spin. The center of mass still follows the same parabolic path. This simulation does ignore the effects of air friction.
