Projectile Simulations


Projectile Motion Screenshot
Let's add to your GROUP PROJECTILE DOCUMENT...

Collect screenshots from the PHET projectile simulation that support your claims about the following:

7)  Does mass affect the trajectory of a projectile?  (make a claim and support it with evidence)
8)  What angle gives the maximum range for a projectile - is it the same regardless of the mass and the initial velocity?  (make a claim and support it with evidence)

Please include at least one screenshot from each group member as evidence for the above (so a group of four should have at least 8 total screenshots in their GROUP PROJECTILE DOCUMENT)
