This webpage contains a simulation that allows the user to fire various objects out of a cannon. By manipulating angle, initial speed, mass, and air resistance, concepts of projectile motion are illustrated. This page also contains user-submitted suggestions of ideas and activities for this simulation.
This item is part of a larger collection of simulations developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET). The simulations are animated, interactive, and game-like environments in which students learn through exploration. All of the simulations are freely available from the PhET web site for incorporation into classes.
Job well done
Author: Alex Ojinta Really apreciate its helps in explainig diagramaticaly

Useful
Author: Jennifer Broekman But perhaps more useful if there were a numerical way to edit the firing angle.
