🤸 Ragdoll Launch Lab: Centre of Mass Follows a Parabola While a Verlet Dummy Flails — 2D Side View

A cartoon dummy built from 15 Verlet point masses is hit by an impulse at any body part; momentum p = m v sets the launch, and the centre of mass follows the exact ballistic parabola while the limbs tumble. Compare the actual centre of mass with the formula, change gravity and solver stiffness, and watch the kinetic energy split into translation and flailing.
