About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models projectile motion while displaying live energy graphs showing kinetic, potential, and total mechanical energy throughout the flight. Learners can adjust launch angle, initial velocity, and launch height to observe how these variables affect both the trajectory and energy distribution during motion.

Learning objectives: Understand how kinetic and potential energy change during projectile motion | Explore the relationship between velocity, height, and total mechanical energy | Investigate energy conservation principles through interactive experimentation
