Projectile Motion Lab

Object Presets

Start with common classroom examples, then adjust any value.

Change gravity and air density for different worlds.

Visible model equations and color-coded graph series.

Ideal x = v0 cos(theta)t, y = v0 sin(theta)t - 0.5gt^2

With drag F_d = 0.5 C rho A v^2 opposite motion

Compare position, velocity, and acceleration over time.

Launch an object and compare the resulting trajectories.

Initial speed m/s Launch angle deg Mass kg Radius m Drag coefficient C Air density kg/m^3 Gravity m/s^2 Time step s

Initial speed 20 m/s Launch angle 45 deg

Quadratic drag opposes motion and depends on cross-sectional area.

Ready. Adjust values or choose a preset.
