Step 1 of 5
Projectile Motion
Click‐and‐drag from the launch pad (white circle) at left to set speed and angle.
Release to fire. Adjust gravity or wind on the fly.
Watch the path and vectors, and see “y vs x” plotted live.
Launch Pad
t = 0.00 s
x = 0.00 m
y = 0.00 m
vₓ = 0.00 m/s
v_y = 0.00 m/s
Trajectory: y vs x

Results & Quiz
Target was at x = -- m.
You landed at x = -- m.
- Explain why changing the gravity slider mid-flight altered your arc the way it did.
- If you increase the wind slider to +5 m/s², what happens to your range? Why?
