Projectile Motion Calculator

How fast the projectile leaves the launch point, in m/s. Faster launches go further and higher.

Range scales with the square of the launch speed.

Angle above the horizontal at launch, from 0° (flat) to 90° (straight up).

On flat ground, 45° gives the greatest range.

Height of the launch point above the landing level, in metres.

Set it to 0 for a launch from the ground; a raised platform adds flight time and range.

The gravitational acceleration pulling the projectile down. Lower gravity means longer, higher flights.

Earth 9.81, Moon 1.62, Mars 3.72.
