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