Quick answer
Ignoring air resistance, a projectile's range is v²sin(2θ)/g, maximised at a 45° launch angle.
R = v² sin(2θ) / g
How to use the Projectile Motion Calculator
- 1Enter the launch speed in m/s.
- 2Enter the launch angle in degrees.
- 3Add a launch height if not from ground level.
Frequently asked questions
Why is 45° optimal?
It balances vertical hang time against horizontal speed — only true from level ground.
Does this include drag?
No, it assumes a vacuum; real ranges are shorter.
