How to use this calculator

  1. Enter launch speed in m/s.
  2. Enter launch angle in degrees.
  3. Enter gravity in m/s².
  4. Select Calculate and keep the output unit with the answer.

Before you use the answer

Choose a system boundary and a positive direction before entering measured values. Introductory equations deliberately leave out some real-world effects. If the setup has changing acceleration, drag, losses or nonuniform properties, first decide whether the simplified model is a useful approximation.

Unequal launch and landing heights break the symmetry.

Why might a result be approximate?

Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
