The simulation shows a ballistics cart. If the cart is at rest on a
horizontal surface, it will shoot a ball straight up in the air, and
catch the ball again.
What if, as in this simulation, the cart is traveling at a constant
velocity horizontally, instead? Will the ball land ahead of the cart, in
the cart, or behind the cart? Note that the cart fires the ball
straight up, with respect to the cart, when the middle of the cart
passes the small vertical trigger on the track.
Use the buttons to select the different modes (whether there is a tunnel or not, and whether to show the velocity vectors).
