A particle travels a path."

The path is fundamentally an exponential that rises to a set height."

The first slider determines the height."

The second slider determines the rate."

The third slider determines the launch site."

The RESET button reloads the cannon and reorients the view.

The path line is shown as one changes the sliders.


The moving frame tracks the rocket.

The linear momentum vector follows the particle.

The position vector trackes the particle.


Height: Range is from 0 to 20
Rate: Range is from 0 to 1.0
Offset: Range is from 1 to 10.
