YP Projectiles 1.1


YP Projectiles - A projectile motion simulator designed for physicsteachers and students.
YP Projectiles is a projectile motion simulator designed for physicsteachers and students. To simulate a trajectory, the user chooses the initial velocity (magnitude and direction), the vertical displacement component and the gravitational acceleration.

The software then draws theparabolic trajectory and writes its main characteristics: range, maximumheight reached, etc.

During the simulation, it is possible to display three vectors:acceleration, velocity and position, and three graphs: acceleration,velocity and position versus time.

Many trajectories can be superposed inthe same window, in the same scale. YP Projectiles creates diagrams that can be saved as Pict files but all the graphs, trajectories and numerical data may be printed or copied to be used in other software.

Requirements:

  • 250 Kb on your hard disk
  • 1 Mb of RAM
  • The software runs on older Macs with 68000 processors (Mac Plus, Mac Classic), but simulations are slower.


    Limitations:

  • Runs on Mac OS Classic only.


    What's New in This Release:

  • YP Projectiles 1.1 features a new graph displaying mechanical energy, kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy versus time.
