About Projectile Motion Calculator

1

Set Speed

Enter the initial speed in meters per second.

2

Set Angle

Enter the launch angle in degrees (0° to 90°).

3

Set Height

Enter the initial height in meters (0 for ground launch).

4

Choose Gravity

Select Earth, Moon, or Mars to simulate different gravities.

Understand 2D kinematics visually and numerically. Input your initial speed, launch angle, and starting height to compute time of flight, maximum height, and horizontal range. Choose between Earth, Moon, or Mars gravity. Useful for physics students and educators.

Key Features

Gravity Presets

Switch quickly between Earth (9.81), Moon (1.62), and Mars (3.71) m/s².

Trajectory Preview

See a simple visual preview of the path for intuition.

Live Results

Instant calculations for flight time, max height, and range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Without air resistance and with zero initial height, 45° maximizes range on level ground.

Lower gravity increases flight time, resulting in greater range for the same initial conditions.
