About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models two cannons positioned to fire projectiles toward each other under Earth's gravity (g = -9.81 m/s²). Learners can adjust launch angles, velocities, and initial positions to observe how projectiles follow parabolic paths, intersect in space, or miss their targets. Real-time visualization helps develop intuition about 2D motion components.

Learning objectives: Understand how horizontal and vertical velocity components independently affect projectile trajectories | Predict collision points and timing between two moving objects using kinematic equations | Analyse the relationship between launch angle, initial velocity, and range in realistic scenarios
