How it works

Range = v²sin(2θ)/g; max height = v²sin²(θ)/(2g); time = 2v·sin(θ)/g

How to use the Projectile Motion Calculator

Start by entering launch speed, angle, height and gravity settings. Keep the units consistent and check that each value belongs to the same question.

The result gives flight time, range, maximum height or related values. Air resistance and wind are not included in the basic model. Use it as a guide and check any instructions, rules or professional advice that apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this projectile motion calculator calculate?
It gives flight time, range, maximum height or related values. Air resistance and wind are not included in the basic model.
What information should I enter?
Enter launch speed, angle, height and gravity settings. Use the same units throughout so the result is easier to understand.
Does it include wind resistance?
Usually no. Treat the result as an ideal motion estimate unless the calculator states otherwise.
