[Free Registration/Login Required] Watch this animation as an archer shoots at a target on an angle, and its horizontal and vertical paths and its velocity are explained. An interactive follows where you can manipulate the archer's stance, launch angle, target distance, and launch speed as the data is shown on a velocity-time graph and a position-time graph. Press the play button to see how close you come to hitting the target.
