Projectile Motion Simulator — Trajectory, Range & Time
Enter launch speed and angle to see the trajectory, max height, range, and flight time visualized
Set the launch speed and angle of an object and instantly see its maximum height, total range, and flight time — plotted live on a canvas so you can see the arc, not just the numbers.

How to use
- Enter the launch speed (m/s) and launch angle (°).
- Read the max range, max height, and flight time.
FAQ
- What gravitational acceleration is used?
- It uses Earth's standard gravity, $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$.
- Does it account for air resistance?
- No — this simulator assumes ideal projectile motion in a vacuum with no air resistance, so real-world outdoor results will differ slightly.
- Why does a 45° launch angle give the longest range?
- At a fixed launch speed, 45° maximizes the product of the horizontal and vertical velocity components, which is what theoretically produces the greatest range.
