Projectile Motion Calculator

Formula

Range = v²sin(2θ)/g;
Max height = v²sin²(θ)/(2g);
Time = 2v·sin(θ)/g (from flat ground).

Compute the trajectory of a projectile ignoring air resistance. Enter velocity, angle, and optional initial height to find range, maximum height, and total flight time.

Common use cases:

  • Sports ball trajectories
  • Artillery range estimation
  • Physics homework
