Dynamic Graphing

Example

The path over time T of a ball thrown in the air at initial velocity V and

 

an angle of θ degrees from horizontal can be calculated as follows.

 

X = (Vcos θ)T, Y = (Vsin θ)T – (1/2)gT2 (g = 9.8m/s2)

 

Use Dynamic Graph to plot the path of a ball thrown at an initial

 

velocity of 20 meters per second, at horizontal angles of 30, 45, and 60

 

degrees (Angle: Deg).

 

 

Use the following V-Window settings.

 

Xmin = –1,

Xmax = 42,

Xscale = 5

 

Ymin = –1,

Ymax = 16,

Yscale = 2

 

Tθ min = 0,

Tθ max = 6,Tθ ptch = 0.1
