Projectile Motion Calculator
Find time of flight, maximum height, and range from initial velocity and launch angle.
- Time of flight
- 2.8832 s
- Maximum height
- 10.1937 m
- Horizontal range
- 40.7747 m
Calculated using standard gravity g = 9.81 m/s².
Enter the initial launch velocity and angle to compute the time of flight, maximum height, and horizontal range of a projectile, assuming standard gravity (9.81 m/s²) and no air resistance. Runs instantly in your browser.
How to use
- Enter the initial velocity in meters per second.
- Enter the launch angle in degrees (0 to 90).
- Read the time of flight, max height, and range below.
Frequently asked questions
- What assumptions does this calculator make?
- It assumes launch and landing at the same height, standard gravity of 9.81 m/s², and no air resistance.
- What angle gives the maximum range?
- A 45° launch angle gives the maximum horizontal range for a given velocity, assuming equal launch and landing height.
- What units are used?
- Velocity in meters per second (m/s), angle in degrees, time in seconds, and height/range in meters.
