Choose metric or imperial. All inputs and outputs switch together.
Vertical height of the launch point above the ground (or the landing surface).
m
The horizontal speed at launch. There is no vertical component in horizontal projectile motion.

Standard Earth gravity is used for most problems. Select another body or enter a custom value.

The projectile lands 30.29 m away after 2.020 s.

  • The projectile is in the air for 2.020 s before hitting the ground.
  • It travels 30.294 m horizontally during that time.
  • At impact the total speed is 24.84 m/s directed 52.9 degrees below the horizontal.

Next stepAir resistance is neglected here. For high-speed or long-range problems, a drag-corrected simulation will give a shorter range and a steeper impact angle.
