Projectile Range

Projectile Range Calculator

This calculator calculates the horizontal distance a projectile will travel given its initial velocity and angle.

Use Cases

• Sports: Golf drive, football kick distance.
• Physics: Experimenting with trajectory.
• Engineering: Fire stream or irrigation throw.

Formula

$$R = \frac{v^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$$

Where:

• $R$ is range
• $v$ is initial velocity
• $\theta$ is launch angle
• $g$ is gravity ($9.8 m/s^2$)
