The Tabletop Projectile model simulates the frictionless motion of a ball shot from a tabletop by a spring-gun.  The initial velocity and the table height can be set and multiple shots can be compared.   A separate window shows a position data table.

The 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.

A customizable heating and cooling simulation that allows teachers to set the display parameters.  The customized simulation is automatically saved with associated curricular in a new jar file that can be redistributed.
