A key notion in both algebra is that of the slope of a given angle. The slope is determined as the ratio of the run and the rise—or using the Pythagorean Theorem, the ration of the opposite to the adjacent sides of a right triangle. Slope continues to be an important concept in the study of limits and differentiation.
Using the ratio of rise to run we can get the angle which a vehicle will launch off a ramp.

Change the values for the height of the ramp and the power with which the vehicle launches off the ramp and not the different trajectories that the vehicle takes. You can change this lab in several ways:
