Projectile Lab is an interactive physics learning app that helps students understand projectile motion by doing, not memorizing. Build intuition with a real-time simulator, then deepen understanding with formula breakdowns, graph analysis, guided practice, and challenge levels. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Run live projectile simulations with adjustable angle, velocity, and launch height - Explore gravity environments including Earth and Moon (plus more with Premium) - View trajectory stats instantly: max height, range, flight time, and speed components - Learn the math with step-by-step formula sections and substituted values - Analyze motion with time-based graphs (height, distance, velocity, speed) - Practice with curated physics questions across multiple difficulty levels - Play challenge missions: hit targets, clear obstacles, land in zones, and maximize range - Save experiments to revisit and compare your best runs - Track progress through stars, streaks, and achievements DESIGNED FOR LEARNING Projectile Lab is built for students, self-learners, and educators who want a clean, focused environment for understanding motion. The app combines visual intuition and equation-level reasoning in one workflow. PREMIUM (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) - Removes ads - Unlocks all challenge content - Unlocks unlimited saved experiments - Unlocks all environments and advanced controls - Unlocks graph insights and full practice access No subscription required.

SectionLab transforms abstract geometry into a hands-on, visual experience. Perfect for students, teachers, and anyone curious about how 2D relates to 3D. BUILD mode — See 2D become 3D Watch flat shapes transform into solid objects through three different mechanisms: • Rotate: Spin a rectangle into a cylinder, a triangle into a cone, or a semicircle into a sphere • Translate: Extrude a circle upward to form a cylinder, or a square into a cube • Roll: Curl a flat plane into a cylindrical surface Drag the progress slider to control how far the transformation goes, or hit Auto Play for a seamless demonstration. CUT mode — Slice 3D shapes to see inside Choose from five geometric solids (cube, cuboid, cylinder, cone, triangular prism) and cut them with an adjustable slicing plane: • Move the cutting plane up/down and tilt it in any direction • Pull the two halves apart to examine the cross-section in detail • Toggle visibility of each half to focus on either side • Use the Cross-Section Dictionary for instant access to classic cuts (circle, ellipse, triangle, hexagon, and more) Why SectionLab? • Fully interactive 3D — pan, rotate, and zoom with touch gestures • No internet required — all 3D rendering runs locally • Multi-language support: English, äø­ę–‡, ę—„ęœ¬čŖž, ķ•œźµ­ģ–“ • iPad-optimized with large touch targets • Clean, distraction-free interface designed for focused learning Perfect for: - Middle school and high school geometry students - Teachers looking for classroom demonstration tools - Self-learners exploring spatial reasoning - Anyone curious about the math behind 3D shapes
