| YP Projectiles 1.1 - A projectile motion simulator.
YP Projectiles is a projectile
motion simulator designed for
physics teachers and students.
To simulate a trajectory, the
user chooses the initial
velocity (magnitude and
direction), the vertical
displacement component and the
gravitational acceleration.
The software then draws the
parabolic trajectory and
writes its main
characteristics: range,
maximum height reached, etc.
During the simulation, it is
possible to display three
vectors: acceleration,
velocity and position, and
three graphs: acceleration,
velocity and position versus
time. Many trajectories can be
superposed in the same window,
in the same scale.
Trajectories, numerical data
and graphs may be printed or
copied to be used in other
software. Trajectories may be
also saved as PICT files. |
