MATLAB Simulation for Teaching Projectile Motion

An approach for teaching projectilemotion using MATLAB simulation was shared to theundergraduate and graduate level students. The mainpurpose of developing the code was to give students abetter qualitative as well as quantitative understandingof the intricate factors (e.g., drag) influencing projectilemotion, which are usually not discussed in standardtexts. Yet another benefit of using such an approach isthat the students become accustomed with someadvanced features of MATLAB.
