Fire projectiles from a cannon to master parabolic motion. Adjust launch angle, speed, and height, test the effects of air resistance, and trace velocity vectors during flight.
🎮 Try It
• Adjust the cannon angle and launch speed sliders, then press Fire to launch a projectile.
• Check Velocity vectors and select Components to see how horizontal and vertical speeds change during flight.
• Drag the target and measuring tape to measure the exact distance and landing coordinates of your shot.
🎯 Your Mission
Set the cannon height to 0 metres, place the target at 20 metres, and hit the bullseye on your first attempt.
🌍 Real-World Connection
Basketball players naturally calculate projectile angles and release speeds to ensure the ball arches smoothly through the hoop.
