An interesting and sometimes fun way to learn physics involves relating physics problems to the real world. In the case of finding projectile motion one can apply a real life scenario of someone kicking a soccer ball.

If a soccer ball is kicked so that at the peak of its trajectory it has a horizontal speed of 21 m/s, is six meters above the ground, and the entire flight takes 2.2 seconds the soccer ball will land 46.2 meters away from the kicker. Using real life scenarios to demonstrate otherwise difficult mathematical problems can make them both easier and more fun to deal with.
