Interactive Projectile Motion Lab
A hands-on, client-side physics simulation for exploring the principles of 2D kinematics. This tool allows you to launch a projectile on a canvas and control all the key variables, including initial velocity, launch angle, gravity, and air resistance. A real-time charting system plots the object's motion, helping you visualize the relationships between force, velocity, and position. The path tracing feature makes it easy to compare the results of different experiments.
