The Physics of Angry Birds

[DanMarotta]

There have been several articles on the actual physics within the popular puzzle video game Angry Birds. Here are a few documented formulas I found the other day by a fan of both Angry Birds and Physics

Amazing! Designed in Creo Dalbeer?

[DalbeerSinghSoh]

yes in Creo(PRO/E)

I would love to see physics taught with examples like this!!!

I agree that this method makes learning much easier. Students understand and are interested crazy birds. One thing I noticed- Velocity should not be zero at the top of the arc, unless that is for y axis only.

Ahh, Amerikans..

Always trying to find an entertaining way to teach science to children...

Meanwhile, poor kids in China, Russia and India without iPads and iPods and iPhones will exercise their brains to learn it.

Dalbeer, can you send me that model?

[DanMarotta]

New document and a mini-challenge, "Angry Birds Physics in Space."

Dalbeer,

Can you please upload the Pro-E model to GrabCAD. This would be a great modeling exercise

to learn from.

Thanks,

Hamid
