Blast a car out of a cannon, and challenge yourself to hit a target! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set parameters such as angle, initial speed, and mass. Explore vector representations, and add air resistance to investigate the factors that influence drag.
7 gru 2010 · Students often find it difficult to calculate the trajectories of projectiles. With the help of Elias Kalogirou’s model, they can be easily visualised. In addition, Ian Francis suggests further uses for the model in the classroom.
The path of the object through space is called its trajectory. Projectile trajectories are analyzed by mathematical equations of motion. In other words, things like path, distance and speed of a moving object can be calculated mathematically.
Our Projectile Simulator is now available with two Concept Checker that coordinate with Exercise 2 and Exercise 3 (above). Do the simulation. Then follow it up with the Concept Checker: Horizontally-Launched Concept Checker ; Angle Launched Concept Checker
Explore the interactive simulation of projectile motion, learning about kinematics and air resistance factors.
This projectile simulator allows students to alter the launch speed, launch height and launch angle of a projectile. The trajectory, range, and time of fight are displayed. The velocity vector components, acceleration vector, and the trajectory trace can be toggled off and on.
The key to understanding projectile motion lies in knowing its fundamental principles, such as velocity, acceleration, and trajectory. These concepts are described by various formulas that we will cover in detail.
