Projectile Motion Simulator for A Level Physics

Explore projectile motion with an interactive simulation. Adjust launch angle, velocity and height to see trajectories in real time.

What this tool shows

How horizontal and vertical motion are independent
The effect of launch angle on range and height
How initial velocity changes the trajectory
The symmetry of projectile paths in vacuum

OCR A relevance

Module 3: Forces and motion
SUVAT equations
Resolving vectors

Try these tasks

Predict the angle that gives maximum range, then test it.
Keep angle constant and double velocity. What happens to range?
Compare a horizontal launch with a launch at 45°.
