December 14, 2025
Problem
A ball is thrown from a 50-meter tall building at 20 m/s at a 60° angle. Find when and where it hits the ground.
Explanation
This visualization shows a ball launched from the top of a building and traces its parabolic path until it hits the ground (y = 0). You can adjust the building height, launch speed, angle, and gravity. The impact point and time of flight are highlighted: the ball stops exactly when it reaches ground level.
