Class 11 Physics simulations · Motion in a Plane

Horizontal projectile

Launch a ball horizontally from a cliff and watch its parabolic drop.

Open the simulation

What to notice

Horizontal and vertical motions are independent.

Key relation

y = ½gt²; x = v·t

Try this

Increase the launch speed and see the landing point move out.

What you can change

• Launch speed: 5 to 30 m/s
• Cliff height: 10 to 60 m
