This simulation offers a hands-on and dynamic way to explore the physics of projectile motion with and without air resistance. By adjusting parameters such as launch velocity, angle, and air resistance, users can visualize how these factors affect the shape and reach of a projectile’s trajectory. The app provides real-time changes including motion paths, velocity vectors, and a velocity-time graph showing horizontal and vertical components separately. It also calculates and displays key quantities such as maximum height and range under ideal and non-ideal conditions (based on an arbitrary coefficient of drag.
Through interactive experimentation and visual reinforcement, learners gain a deeper understanding of concepts the effect of air resistance, and the difference between theoretical and real-world motion.
This is suitable for JC1’s topic on projectile motion. It can also be used for Upper Sec, if you change the launch angle to 90 degrees.
