Projectile Motion Animation

A screenshot of the Projectile Motion animation and 

simulation made by the University of Colorado. 

Projectile motion is one of the many fun topics in Physics. With projectile motion, you can let your students play volleyball, throw and drop coins, make parachutes for an egg and many more. You can even let them fire cannons!

Well, yeah, many schools would not allow cannons to be fired by their students. But you can do it with an animation, a simulation of projectiles.

When I first taught Physics for STI College Ormoc, I found the use of this animated simulation of projectiles like cannon balls, cars, baseballs or golf balls relevant to my students' course. They were after all, IT students.
