TRAJECTORY CALCULATOR

Trajectory calculator to find range, maximum height and flight time of horizontal projectile in physics. See Projectile Motion Calculator for more detailed trajectory calculations.

Trajectory Calculator:

INPUT PARAMETERS
Initial Velocity (V0)
Launch Angle (α)
Initial Height (h₀)
Gravity*

Note: Use dot "." as decimal separator.

Note: Final height of the projectile is 0.

Note*: Gravity vector is negative in downward direction.

RESULTS
Parameter	Symbol	Value	Unit
Maximum Height	h_max
Horizontal Distance	l
Flight Duration	t		[s]

Note: Default rounding is 5 decimal places.

Definitions:

Projectile Motion: Projectile motion is a form of motion which takes place in two dimensions. The shape of the motion is a parabola.

List of Equations:

Position formula (in x-direction)	x_t=x₀+v_0xt
Position formula (in y-direction)	y_t=y₀+V_0yt+1/2gt²
Velocity formula (in x-direction)	V_x = V_0x
Velocity formula (in y-direction)	V_yt = V_0y+gt
