Physics Demonstrations

Projectile Demonstration

This demonstration shows the projectile motion of two objects launched at from a positions ((xo1,yo1),(xo2,yo2)) with initial velocities (vo1,vo2) at an angles (θo1,θo2). Here are the equations we use for this demonstration.

>Some questions to consider when viewing the demonstration:

  • Describe the effects of velocity, angle, and position on a projectile.
  • Construct a configuration would maximize height and range.
