University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Projectile Motion

Curated by ACT

An interactive simulation that teaches about kinematics, air resistance, and parabolic curve by shooting a car out of a cannon while trying to hit a target. Observe how changes in angle, initial speed, mass, air resistance, and drag affect projectile motion. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
