Projectile Motion - Intro
Blast a car out of a cannon, and challenge yourself to hit a target! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set cannon angle, height, and initial speed. Take measurements or display velocity and acceleration vectors. Turn on air resistance and observe what happens to the projectile's path. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
