About this Simulation

This interactive projectile motion model allows students to explore how objects move under gravity. Adjust launch angles, initial velocities, and view conditions to observe realistic trajectories. Real-time graph plotting and customizable scaling reveal the relationships between horizontal and vertical motion components.

Learning objectives: Understand how launch angle and velocity affect projectile range and maximum height | Analyze the independence of horizontal and vertical motion components | Interpret and manipulate trajectory graphs to predict motion outcomes
