This Trajectory - Horizontally Launched Projectiles interactive also includes:
Everyone enjoys projectiles, and predicting where they land helps with future hands-on labs. Incorporating gravity into horizontal trajectories through both conceptual and mathematical practice helps scholars understand real-life applications. They solve for both velocity and position at multiple positions as part of a series on vectors and projectiles.

Instructional Ideas
- Inform pupils while the interactive allows for an unlimited number of tries, the health bar displays how many incorrect answers they submitted
Classroom Considerations
- File adjusts size to fit any screen
- Relies on prior knowledge of vectors, trajectory, motion diagrams, and x/y coordinates
Pros
- Provides two versions, one using the standard -9.8 and one using the simplified -10 for gravitational acceleration
- Links to related readings, modules, worksheets, and more
Cons
- None
