Geogebra Applet

What we did was create a geogebra applet about a artillery shell hitting a castle. We created several sliders on Geogebra. One for time(t0), one for distance to the castle(d), height of the castle compared to the missile launcher(h), another one for firing velocity(v), and the final one was for the initial angle of the missile lancher(alpha). Then to get the projectile moving we input the equation h=-16*t0^2+v*cos(alpha)+s. Then to make our target we made a point across from point B. Then to show our mushroom cloud, we put the distance formula as our condition to make our mushroom cloud appear. Then to make our projectile stop, we used the rate times time equals distance. After we were all done with that, we added a few pictures to make it look better. Which made a functional geogebra applet.
