Bull's Eye

This model simulates an object going down an inclined plane. It comes off the plane moving horizontally at the exact speed it left the plane. The object then undergoes free fall under the influence of gravity until it is stopped by the ground. You may adjust the height of the ramp, length of ramp, height of the bottom of the ramp above the ground, and the acceleration due to gravity.

Ramp_Height:   0 to 10 meters

Ramp_Length:   0 to 10 meters

Distance_to_ground:   0 to 10 meters

Gravity_rate:   -50 to 50 meters per second squared (negative is downward)
