Interactive simulation: Projectile motion

September 4, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: , | Leave a comment

Projectile motion: footballs, humans and pianos – they all (ideally) move in the same way. Try the interactive simulation by following this link. The equation of motion is just

x=x_0+(v_0\cos\alpha)t

y=y_0+(v_0\sin\alpha)t-(1/2)g t^2

[the simulation is from University of Colorado at Boulder].
