Advanced options
Flow
- Enter launch speed and angle (0 < angle < 90).
- Adjust gravity for Earth or alternative environments.
- Read time of flight, max height, and horizontal range results.
Example
Worked example: v0 = 24 m/s, theta = 35°, g = 9.80665
- 1 Resolve velocity into horizontal and vertical components.
- 2 Compute t, Hmax, and R from projectile equations.
- 3 Time ≈ 2.81 s, max height ≈ 9.65 m, range ≈ 55.22 m.
Projectile range is about 55.22 m under ideal assumptions.
How
- Enter launch speed and angle (0 < angle < 90).
- Adjust gravity for Earth or alternative environments.
- Read time of flight, max height, and horizontal range results.
Avoid
- Using angle in radians when entering degrees.
- Applying these equations in high-drag conditions without correction.
- Using angle 0° or 90°, which degenerates one component and breaks this tool range assumptions.
FAQ
Does this include air resistance?
No, this is the idealized vacuum model.
Can I use Moon gravity?
Yes. Enter the desired gravitational acceleration value.
Why restrict angle between 0 and 90?
This tool targets standard launch cases with positive upward and forward components.
