Launch balls at different angles and see parabolic trajectories in real time
Projectile motion follows a parabolic path because gravity only pulls downward. The horizontal velocity stays constant while the vertical velocity changes due to gravity.
The key equations are:
x = v·cos(θ)·t (horizontal position)
y = v·sin(θ)·t − ½gt² (vertical position)
The maximum height depends on the initial vertical velocity, and the range depends on both components. Try different angles — 45° gives the maximum range in ideal conditions!
