Projectile with Optional Friction

Display vectors:
None Velocity Acceleration
Display values:
None Energy Position Velocity Acceleration

Initial velocity= m/s. Initial angle= degrees. Friction coefficient= /s.

The units in the animation are MKS (meters, kilograms, and seconds). The acceleration of gravity is set to 9.8 m/s2. The friction is proportional to the velocity. Click on a point in the animation to display the x and y coordinates. In the vector displays, the vector components are blue arrows, while the resultant vector is displayed in red.
