Horizontal Projectile Motion Explorer

Controls & Inputs

Welcome to the projectile motion explorer. This tool, based on the physics principles from the report, lets you simulate horizontal launches. Choose a calculation mode, adjust the inputs using the sliders, and see the results and trajectory update instantly.

1. Select Calculation Mode

Calculate Range (Given x_o & v_ox)

Calculate Velocity (Given x_o & x_range)

2. Initial Height (x_o) 50 m

3. Initial H. Velocity (v_ox) 20 m/s

4. Horizontal Range (x_range) 50 m

Results & Visualization

This panel displays the calculated outcomes of your simulation. Below the key metrics, a dynamic chart visualizes the projectile's parabolic path from its launch point (0, x_o) to the ground.

Time in Air (t) -- s

Horizontal Range (x_range) -- m

Initial H. Velocity (v_ox) -- m/s

Final Vertical Velocity (v_fy) -- m/s
