Projectile Motion of a Ball with Aerodynamic Drag

Home : Products : MapleSim : Model Gallery : Projectile Motion of a Ball with Aerodynamic Drag

This simulation compares the projectile trajectories of a ball with and without the effects of air drag for specified initial conditions (height, speed, and launch angle). An Excel data set that contains coefficient of drag values for a range of Reynolds numbers is attached to this model and is used for estimating the drag forces.
