Free physics simulator tool

Projectile Motion Simulator free online trajectory visualizer

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.

Projectile Motion Simulator interactive tool

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.

Projectile Motion Simulator controls

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 overview and results

Projectile Motion Simulator turns the standard projectile motion variables into a visual curve, making range, peak height, and landing speed easier to compare.

Projectile Motion Simulator visual workflow

Set speed, angle, height, and gravity, then use Projectile Motion Simulator to see the full animated trajectory from launch to landing.

Projectile Motion Simulator quick guide

Use this Projectile Motion Simulator guide to build a clean first trajectory and understand what each variable controls.

01

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
Open tool
02

Projectile Motion Simulator compare one variable

Change only velocity, angle, height, gravity, or air resistance so the new trajectory has a clear cause.

  • Angle mainly reshapes the arc
  • Speed strongly affects range

Projectile Motion Simulator FAQ

Fast answers before you use Projectile Motion Simulator for homework, demos, or comparison.

What does Projectile Motion Simulator calculate?

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.

Does Projectile Motion Simulator include air resistance?

Yes. The air resistance toggle uses a simple linear drag model so students can compare ideal projectile motion against a damped trajectory.

Can I share Projectile Motion Simulator settings?

Yes. The clean page URL stays unchanged while you experiment, and the copy result link button creates a shareable URL only when you ask for it.
