Concept Checker for Projectile Simulation


Our Concept Checker for the Projectile Simulator consists of 36 questions organized into 9 Question Groups. Students must correctly answer one question from each Question Group to earn the Trophy for this Concept Checker. The simulation is a multi-faceted simulation; this particular Concept Checker is restricted to angle-launched projectiles.

Like all our Concept Checkers, it is designed to be used as a follow-up to the use of the Projectile Simulator. We recommend the use of our classroom-ready exercise with the simulation.

The Concept Checker targets student understanding of the following learning outcomes:
  • The student should be able to describe the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity and the acceleration of a projectile.
  • The student be able to identify the effect that a varying launch angle has upon the horizontal displacement of a projectile.
