Projectile Simulator
The Projectile Simulator Interactive provides the learner with a user-friendly, virtual environment for exploring a variety of principles associated with projectile motion. Learners can modify the launch speed, the launch angle, and the launch height and observe the effect of these changes upon a variety of projectile parameters such as the trajectory, the range, and maximum height, and the time of flight.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more guided experience, The Physics Classroom has prepared an activity for use with this Interactive and encourages teachers to use it with their classes.
