Projectile Motion

Launch from the ground with no air resistance. Horizontal and vertical motion are independent: constant v_x, while v_y changes under gravity (g = 9.8 m/s²).

v_x = m/s, v_y0 = m/s

Range R = m

Max height H = m

Flight time = s

launch speed v₀20 m/s

launch angle θ45°

Try: compare θ = 30° and θ = 60° at the same speed — they give the same range (complementary angles), but 60° flies much higher.
