Parabolic Motion

v2.0

The instantaneous position (black dot) and velocity vector (green) are shown as a function of the time t for a parabolic motion. The initial position (x0,y0), velocity (v0) and angle (alpha) can be set by the user. It is possible to toggle on/off the instantaneous values of the (x,y) components of the position and velocity by clicking on the appropriate "Show *" boxes. The time can be set to a given value, reset to zero or let to evolve using the blue bar and labelled boxes.
