šŸŽÆ Projectile Motion Simulation

Explore how mass, velocity, and height affect projectile motion

šŸ“Š Scenario Parameters

Base Values: Mass (M) = 1 kg, Velocity (v) = 10 m/s, Height (h) = 20 m
Key Physics: Time = āˆš(2h/g), Distance = v Ɨ time
Gravity: g = 9.8 m/sĀ² (downward)

šŸ¤” Challenge Questions

  1. Rank the situations from the greatest to least time that it will take for the sphere to hit the ground. Make your ranking on a single line, using > and = signs. Ties are possible.
  2. Explain the reasons behind your ranking. Try to give a brief explanation that covers all the cases rather than explain each case individually.
  3. Rank the situations from the greatest to the least horizontal distance that the sphere will travel. Make your ranking on a single line, using only the > and = signs. Ties are possible.
