In this game, you must employ the projectile equations to win.
To measure the horizontal distance between the cannon and the target, drag a vertical cursor to the position of the cannon and the other vertical cursor to the position of the target, and the horizontal distance will be shown in the “Horizontal distance” box (enable the visibility of the cursors first).
To measure the vertical distance between the cannon and the target, drag a horizontal cursor to the position of the cannon and another horizontal cursor to the position of the target, and the vertical distance will be shown in the “Vertical distance” box.
Fix the launching angle to the desired value, and then, using a suitable equation from the projectile equations, calculate the initial velocity.
The game consists of three levels, each of which must be completed by scoring at least 8 out of a possible 10 tries. In the first level, you must hit a ground target that shifts position after each attempt. In the second level, you will need to alter the ball’s trajectory to pass over a wall. In the third level, the target flies and changes position both horizontally and vertically in each trial.
