Projectile Motion in Action: From Khuru to the Cosmos.

In this episode of The Royal Academy, Learning Experiences, we explore how objects move through the air as projectiles. Using Bhutan’s traditional game of Khuru, we explain vertical and horizontal motion, the effect of gravity, and parabolic trajectories. From satellites orbiting Earth to seeds dispersing in nature and even sneezes, projectiles are everywhere. Understanding their motion not only deepens our grasp of physics but can even help improve your Khuru game.
