What is Projectile Motion (Galileo and Newton)?

Projectile Motion (Galileo and Newton)

Projectile Motion (Galileo and Newton) is a cool simulator that helps you understand how projectiles move. It looks at two different ways to see this motion, making it easier to grasp the concepts.

Understanding Projectile Motion

The first view shows projectile motion as a mix of horizontal movement happening at a steady speed. Imagine tossing a ball straight while it rolls on the ground – that's what this part focuses on!

Newton's Take on Motion

The second view comes from Isaac Newton. He explains projectile motion by combining the idea of inertia – which is just an object’s tendency to keep doing what it’s doing – with movement caused by a constant force, like gravity pulling something down.

A Java-Based Software

Projectile Motion (Galileo and Newton) runs on Java, which means you can use it on different platforms without any fuss. Whether you're using Windows, Mac, or Linux, this software has got you covered!
