Lab Sim:  The Buick Launcher

In this lab we will investigate the effect of initial velocity, initial launch angle, and air resistance on the motion of a projectile. 

   

For Further Investigation:  When you have finished the lab, try out these projectile games!

 
 

Newton's Mountain

Explore the ultimate projectile--launch a cannonball into orbit and see how the moon really is just perpetually falling towards the earth as the earth forever falls away from the moon!

Sink the Pirate Ship!

 

Siege Master

Another physics-based catapult / trebuchet game similar to Castle Clout and Crush the Castle. Knock down the structures to destroy all of the targets and earn gold for additional items.

Tanks Game

Classic example of a 2 player projectile game.  Use your superior knowledge of projectile motion to defeat your opponent!  Good luck! :)
