My rating of this resource: ***

My experience using this resource:
Physics

Topic I was teaching:
Projectile Motion

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
To have the students observe projectile motion with drag.

Course Level:
Intro or Regular

How I/my students used the resource:
Normally you find projectile in ideal case, i.e. without any air drag. The applet add airdrag to simulate more realistic case.

Value Added:
Provides visualization or animation

Strengths:
Good for SmartBoard demo use to visualize the topic.

Weaknesses:
Boring for use in lab setting.
