In collections The Domain of the Time (intuitive kinematics)
This example demonstrates the geometric construction of parabolic motion trajectories and parameter control. Key mathematical concepts include parabolic equations, vector motion, parametric equations, and optimization. Construction involves using GeoGebra commands like Polygon, PointIn, Vector, and slider animations to adjust parameters. Suitable for high school students or college undergraduates learning parabolic motion and optimization.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon((0, 0), (0, 10^(6)), (10^(6), 10^(6)), (10^(6), 0)) → a, h, i, j, l
  2. PointIn(a) → A
  3. PointIn(a) → B
  4. Vector(A, P) → v0
  5. Vector((x(M), y(A)), (x(M) + v0x, y(A))) → vx
  6. Vector((x(A), y(A)), (x(A), y(A) + v0y)) → vy
  7. Textfield(r) → CasillaDeEntrada1
  8. Vector(M, M + v) → vv
  9. If(v0x ≟ 0 ∧ v0y ≥ 0, (v0y + sqrt(((2 * y(A - B)) * abs(g)) + v0y^(2))) / abs(g), v0x ≟ 0 ∧ v0y < 0, (v0y - sqrt(((2 * y(A - B)) * abs(g)) + v0y^(2))) / abs(g), x(B - A) / v0x) → Tteor
  10. PolyLine(reg) → pol

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangle with four vertices, select points on the bottom and top edges, and connect them. Launch a vector from one of the bottom points towards the upper right, and draw its horizontal and vertical components. Add a text box to input parameters, calculate a theoretical flight time using physics formulas, and plot the corresponding trajectory.
