How to Use Classical Mechanics Projectile Motion Lab

Follow these simple steps to process your files securely in browser memory.

1Step 1 of 3

Set Launch Angle (θ) & Initial Velocity (v₀)

Adjust launch angle (0° to 90°) and speed in meters per second.

Pro Tip: In a vacuum, a 45° launch angle achieves the maximum theoretical horizontal range.
2Step 2 of 3

Select Celestial Gravity (Earth, Moon, Mars)

Choose Earth (g=9.81 m/s²), Moon (g=1.62 m/s²), or Mars (g=3.71 m/s²).

Pro Tip: Because Moon gravity is 1/6th of Earth, projectiles travel 6x farther for the same launch speed.
3Step 3 of 3

Inspect Trajectory Curve & Flight Physics

Review maximum apex height, flight duration, and horizontal distance.

Pro Tip: Horizontal velocity remains constant (vx = v₀ cos θ), while vertical velocity undergoes constant gravitational acceleration.
