Class 11 Physics simulations · Motion in a Plane

Projectile motion

Launch an object and see how horizontal and vertical motion combine to form its path.

Open the simulation

What to notice

Horizontal velocity stays constant; gravity changes the vertical velocity every second.

Key relation

R = v² sin(2θ) / g

Try this

Try 30° and 60° with the same speed. Compare their ranges.

What you can change

• Launch speed: 10 to 35 m/s
• Launch angle: 15 to 75 °
• Gravity: 3 to 15 m/s²
