There are planes & there are planes
The flight of a projectile launched at an angle from the ground is depicted in two representations -
- the path of the projectile in space
- the height & downrange distance as functions of time
[use the "compass" in the left panel to set the angle of the launch.]
Explore how each element in the left panel is represented in the right panel and vice versa.
