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.

Used this with both Honors and AP Physics. Great Visual and Instant feedback after calculations are completed.
Recommended for: AP Physics, PhysicsGizmo User from Massachusetts
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: 10th Grade, 12th Grade MathGizmo User from Ontario
Great gizmo to introduce projectile motion
