Projectile Motion from 10 m Height at 45°
Launching from a 10 m elevated platform at 45° and 20 m/s extends the range beyond a ground-level launch.

Frequently asked questions
- Which angle maximises range?
- 45° maximises range on flat ground. With an elevated launch point the optimal angle is slightly less than 45°.
- Can I use different gravity values?
- Yes — use 1.62 m/s² for the Moon, 3.72 for Mars, or 24.79 for Jupiter.
