Tennis Ball Cannon

Explore the effects of air drag on a tennis ball launched up at an angle in this interactive simulation. This simulation uses the classic air drag model (force proportional to speed) and realistic default values for a tennis ball to simulate the distance traveled by a tennis ball at various speeds and launch angles. Try the default values, then turn down the drag coefficient and watch what happens!
