Spreadsheet Simulation for Demonstrating Projectile Motion
Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper shows the way of creating simulation models that are accurate representation of real life motion moving a point along the curve, along with possibilities that spreadsheet (excel) offers in simulating for school physics. It demonstrates two examples of simulating motion with spreadsheets, which are projectile motion in vacuum, and projectile motion in the air with quadratic drag.
