  2. 2Enter the launch angle in degrees.
  3. 3See range, max height, and flight time.

Frequently asked questions

Does this account for air resistance?+

No — this uses ideal projectile motion equations (flat ground, no air resistance), the standard simplified model taught in introductory physics.
