Discover the horizontal distance a projectile travels with our easy-to-use calculator. Accurately determine the range for various scenarios, from sports to engineering, by inputting initial velocity and launch angle. Perfect for students and professionals alike, simplifying complex projectile motion physics.
Formula:
The formula used to calculate the Horizontal Displacement (Range) for a projectile launched on a level surface is:
R = (v₀² * sin(2θ)) / g
- R is the Horizontal Displacement (Range) in meters (m)
- v₀ is the Initial Velocity in meters per second (m/s)
- θ is the Launch Angle in degrees (°)
- g is the Acceleration due to Gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth)
