Projectile Motion Simulator set the launch
Start with a medium velocity and a 30° to 50° angle so the first curve is easy to read.
- Use 9.8 m/s² for Earth
- Keep launch height low for textbook comparisons
Free physics simulator tool
Projectile Motion Simulator lets you adjust initial velocity, launch angle, height, gravity, and air resistance so students can see how each change reshapes the flight path.
Built for browser-based physics practice, visual comparison, and shareable results.
Start Projectile Motion Simulator here. Change the controls, watch the animated curve, and read peak height, flight time, horizontal distance, and landing speed in real time.
Move one slider at a time to compare how launch speed, angle, height, gravity, and air resistance change the path.

Projectile Motion Simulator uses exact no-air projectile equations and a small-step drag model when air resistance is enabled.
Projectile Motion Simulator turns the standard projectile motion variables into a visual curve, making range, peak height, and landing speed easier to compare.
Set speed, angle, height, and gravity, then use Projectile Motion Simulator to see the full animated trajectory from launch to landing.
Change launch angle or velocity and Projectile Motion Simulator immediately updates flight time, horizontal distance, peak height, and impact speed.
Use this Projectile Motion Simulator guide to build a clean first trajectory and understand what each variable controls.
Start with a medium velocity and a 30° to 50° angle so the first curve is easy to read.
Change only velocity, angle, height, gravity, or air resistance so the new trajectory has a clear cause.
Use the result link when you want to reproduce the same settings later or share a classroom example.
Projectile Motion Simulator keeps the physics controls visible while the curve and metrics update instantly.
Watch the object move along the calculated curve from launch to landing.
Read maximum height, flight time, horizontal range, and landing speed as inputs change.
Copy a result URL only when you choose to save the current settings.

Fast answers before you use Projectile Motion Simulator for homework, demos, or comparison.
Projectile Motion Simulator calculates the trajectory, maximum height, flight time, horizontal distance, and landing speed from the velocity, angle, height, gravity, and air resistance setting.
Yes. The air resistance toggle uses a simple linear drag model so students can compare ideal projectile motion against a damped trajectory.
