Measured model and controls
Launch, pause and scrub an ideal projectile. Track its position and velocity on the trajectory while range, maximum height and flight time remain tied to the same ballistic model.

Motion model
x = v₀cosθ · t
y = v₀sinθ · t − ½gt²
vₓ = 16.971 m/s
vᵧ(t) = 16.971 m/s
|v| = 24 m/s

Interpretation
Launch and pause the projectile to inspect any point on the path. Horizontal velocity stays constant in this ideal model; vertical velocity decreases linearly, becomes zero at the apex, then becomes downward. The trajectory curve and instantaneous marker are calculated from the same time state.
