Projectile Motion Calculator
Calculate range, max height, and flight time for projectile motion. Enter launch velocity and angle.
How to Use the Projectile Motion Calculator
- Enter the initial launch velocity in m/s.
- Enter the launch angle in degrees (0–90).
- Click Calculate to see range, maximum height, and total flight time.
Quick Reference
| From | To |
|---|---|
| 10 m/s at 45° | R=10.2 m, H=2.55 m |
| 20 m/s at 30° | R=35.3 m, H=5.1 m |
| 50 m/s at 45° | R=255 m, H=63.8 m |
| 100 m/s at 60° | R=884 m, H=382 m |
Use Cases
- •Solving projectile motion problems in physics class.
- •Estimating ball trajectory in sports science.
- •Artillery and ballistics range estimation.
Formula
Range = v²·sin(2θ)/g; Max height = v²·sin²(θ)/(2g); Flight time = 2v·sin(θ)/g. Assumes flat ground, no air resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What angle gives maximum range?
45° gives the maximum range on flat ground when air resistance is neglected.
Does air resistance affect real projectiles?
Yes, air resistance reduces range and max height. This calculator gives the ideal (vacuum) result.
Is this calculator free?
Yes, all OhMyCalc calculators are completely free.
