Launch angle: which angle flies farthest
Three balls start at the same speed at 30°, 45° and 60°. Their paths and ranges are traced — a projectile motion experiment.

Physics experiments
Interactive experiments for kids, students and teachers. Run each one right on the page, then open a copy in the Tymora editor and change mass, friction, elasticity or gravity. Every experiment comes with discussion questions and a version to try at home.

Lever catapult: launch by a falling weight
A heavy weight drops onto the short arm of a lever and throws a light ball from the long one. A levers and energy experiment for kids 9+.

Basketball: make the shot
A ball flies along a parabola toward the hoop. Tune the speed and angle; the sensor under the basket turns green on a score.

A shot at goal: score, crossbar or over
Three balls fly at the goal with different speeds: one into the net, one off the crossbar, one over. The net turns green on a goal.

A jump on the Moon: six times higher
A boy jumps at the same speed as on Earth, but gravity here is lunar (1.62 m/s²). Marks show the jump height on Earth and on the Moon.

Spring cannon: from spring energy to range
Three identical cannons with springs of different stiffness fire at 45°. The stiffer the spring, the farther the ball goes: twice as stiff, roughly twice as far.

Projectile with sliders: pick the angle and speed
Change the angle and speed with sliders and watch the path change. Captions show the time, the ball position and the range from the formula.
