Golf Range
Try to get a hole in one by adjusting the velocity and launch angle of a golf ball. Explore the physics of projectile motion in a frictional or ideal setting. Horizontal and vertical velocity vectors can be displayed, as well as the path of the ball. The height of the golfer and the force of gravity are also adjustable.

User Recommendations (5):
Excellent learning tool for projectile motion.
Recommended for: PhysicsGizmo User from South Carolina
An engaging look at projectile motion and a great visual for vectors. And it's fun.
Recommended for: PhysicsGizmo User from Ontario
Use the advanced features, turning off air friction to teach x & y components of velocity.
Recommended for: PhysicsGizmo User from Texas
Perfect Gizmo to combine with Phy. Ed. Be sure to bring in golf clubs and consider taking students to the driving range.
