Horizontally Launched Projectile

This simulation allows the user to examine the motion of a projectile launched horizontally. It allows for the height and speed of the projectile to be modified and the effect of the modifications on the time to reach the ground and the horizontal range can be examined.

Directions

Change the initial height and initial speed using the sliders at the bottom of the simulation.

Press play to start the motion. The horizontal range and time to the ground will be displayed when the projectile reaches the ground

Reset restores the initial conditions and allows the user to change the variables to new values.
