Projectile at 30°, 30 m/s
A 30° launch angle with 30 m/s produces a flatter trajectory with a shorter range than 45°.
How to use this tool
- Enter launch velocity, launch angle, initial height and gravitational acceleration in the fields above.
- Results update instantly as you type — or click Calculate.
- Read your horizontal range and the full breakdown beneath it.
Compare a 30° launch to the 45° optimal angle to see how trajectory shape and range differ.
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.
