The Analytic Animator allows instructors to create two-dimensional single-particle kinematics models for teaching. Instructors set two functions, x(t) and y(t), and the model displays the position-space particle motion as well as position, velocity, and acceleration graphs and tables. The customized simulation is then saved with associated curricular as a new jar file that can be redistributed.
The Analytic Trajectory Animator Model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_newton_TabletopProjectile.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.
Please note that this resource requires
at least version 1.6 of Java (JRE).

K-2: 4F/P1. Things move in many different ways, such as straight, zigzag, round and round, back and forth, and fast and slow.
3-5: 4F/E2. How fast things move differs greatly. Some things are so slow that their journey takes a long time; others move too fast for people to even see them.
