Projectile Motion - Drag proportional to square of velocity

Choose values for speed, angle and drag. Click the draw button, the trajectory will be drawn for you. Range, flight time and maximum height reached by the projectile are also calculated and displayed. If you choose drag value to be zero, an ideal trajectory will be drawn (Model 1). Any other value of drag will give a trajectory of Model 3 projectile.
