Projectile Motion
This interactive projectile motion simulator allows physics students to manipulate launch angle, initial speed, mass, diameter, drag coefficient, and air resistance. The simulator can be downloaded or run off the website, http://phet.colorado.edu/new/simulations/sims.php?sim=Projectile_Motion.
Four different labs accompany this simulator in the compressed file attached. Teachers can choose questions most appropriate for his/her class or grade level. Additional labs can be found at the Projectile Motion website. Requires Adobe Flash Player.
