Projectile Motion Simulator
This interactive visualization demonstrates the physics of projectile motion using the quadratic equation:
h(t) = -½gt² + v₀sinθ·t + h₀
Where:
- h(t) is the height at time t
- g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s² on Earth)
- v₀ is the initial velocity
- θ is the launch angle
- h₀ is the initial height
Features
- Visualize the trajectory of a projectile
- Adjust launch angle, initial velocity, initial height, and gravity
- View key metrics like maximum height, range, and time of flight
- Interactive controls for experimenting with different parameters
How to Use
- Use the sliders to adjust the physics parameters
- Watch how changes affect the trajectory
- Click "Reset to Defaults" to return to the initial settings
