How to Use the Projectile Motion Calculator
Use this projectile motion calculator to quickly find the path and key results of a launched object.
Enter the launch speed in meters per second, the launch angle in degrees, and the initial height if the object starts above the ground. Once you add the values, the calculator instantly shows the main results:
You can also choose different gravity presets such as Earth, Moon, Mars, and Jupiter. This helps you compare how the same launch behaves under different gravitational forces. For example, a ball travels much farther on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has weaker gravity.
This calculator is useful for students, teachers, physics practice, engineering basics, and anyone learning how launch speed, angle, height, and gravity affect projectile motion.
What Is Projectile Motion?
Projectile motion is the motion of an object launched into the air while gravity pulls it downward. In the ideal physics model, air resistance is ignored, so the only force acting on the object after launch is gravity.
What the Calculator Results Mean
Range:
The range is the total horizontal distance travelled by the projectile before it lands.
Maximum Height:
The maximum height is the highest point reached during the flight.
Final Speed:
The final speed is the speed of the projectile just before it hits the landing surface.
Trajectory Diagram:
The diagram shows the curved path of the projectile, helping you visually understand how the object moves through the air.
Flight Time:
The flight time is the total time the projectile stays in the air.
Important Assumptions
This calculator uses the ideal projectile motion model. That means:
In real life, air resistance can reduce the range, lower the maximum height, and make the downward path steeper than the upward path.
