Projectile Motion
Projectile Motion
This experiment uses PASCO equipment for projectiles fired at an angle. It includes a good historical background on projectiles.
Projectile Motion
PASCO: Relative Motion
Students investigate relative motion and frames of reference using a motion sensor.

Simulations
Physics Simulation Library
Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs. The following simulations are included: Vector Addition Using Components, Projectile Motion, and Relative Velocities.
