Newton's Cannon


Applet may take a few moments to load!

This applet shows Isaac Newton's drawing of firing a cannonball from a tall mountain. The red ball is the cannonball, and you can fire it by clicking the large "Fire" button at the bottom. To change the speed that the cannonball is fired, move the slider on the bottom and click "Fire" again.
