Projectile Motion Calculator
Physics & EngineeringCalculate the range and maximum height of a projectile based on launch velocity and angle.
Horizontal Range
The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile before landing, assuming launch and landing at the same height.
Maximum Height
10.19
The maximum height reached by the projectile during its flight.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what launch angle does a projectile travel the farthest?
Assuming launch and landing at the same height with no air resistance, a 45 degree launch angle produces the maximum horizontal range for a given launch velocity.
Does this calculation account for air resistance?
No, this uses idealized projectile motion equations that ignore air resistance, which in reality reduces both range and maximum height compared to this theoretical calculation, especially significant for lighter or less aerodynamic objects.
Why does the formula assume the same launch and landing height?
This standard simplified projectile motion formula assumes a level launch and landing surface — different launch and landing heights, such as throwing from an elevated position, would require a more complex calculation.
