This lecture covers the ballistic motion without friction, including the resolution process, weight, ballistic motion law, initial conditions, equations of ballistic motion, and ballistic trajectory. Dr. Sylvain Bréchet explains the concepts with examples such as the synchronized free fall of a steel ball and a water drop, the trajectory equation, and experimental measurements of free fall time. The lecture also discusses the trajectory of ballistic motion on an air table and the safety parabola formed by water droplets hitting an inclined surface.
