Projectile Motion Physics Lab

High School Physics • Grade 9–12 Interactive Trajectory Simulator

Module 1: Interactive Cannon Launcher & Vectors

Adjust launch angle, velocity, elevation, and environment parameters to test 2D Kinematics ($v_x = v_0 \cos\theta, v_y = v_0 \sin\theta - gt$).

Horizontal motion ($v_x$) is constant when air drag is neglected.
