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.
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.

A ball flies along a parabola toward the hoop. Tune the speed and angle; the sensor under the basket turns green on a score.
Nine wedge stones hold each other and a load on top. Remove the keystone and the arch collapses.
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.
