  • Enter initial velocity and angle of projection.
  • Select the unit system (metric or imperial).
  • Adjust gravity if necessary (default is Earth's gravity).

Projectile Motion Range Calculator Description

Understanding Projectile Motion

Projectile motion is a fundamental concept in physics, describing the trajectory of an object under the influence of gravity. The range of a projectile is the horizontal distance it travels from the point of launch to the point where it hits the ground.

The range is determined by the initial velocity, angle of projection, and acceleration due to gravity. This calculator simplifies the process, allowing users to compute the range by inputting these parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or launched into the air, subject to gravity.

The range is calculated using the formula R = (v^2 * sin(2θ)) / g, where v is initial velocity, θ is the angle, and g is gravity.
