Two Dimensional Air Drop Model is a free simulation that shows an airplane flying at constant horizontal velocity preparing to drop relief supplies to a small island.
As captain of the plane, the student must first calculate the release point for dropping the package. As the simulation runs, press the red "+" button at the correct moment to test your answer.
The trajectory of the falling package is traced onscreen. If your calculations were too far off, the package will drop in the ocean.
The motion can be viewed from the perspective of a person standing on the island or an airplane flying nearby. Extend the learning by activating air friction to see how this variable affects the motion of the projectile.
