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

  1. Use the sliders to adjust the physics parameters
  2. Watch how changes affect the trajectory
  3. Click "Reset to Defaults" to return to the initial settings
