Steep Launch Angle: 75°, 15 m/s
A 75° launch angle at 15 m/s produces a tall, narrow arc with a short horizontal range — showing angle vs. range trade-off.

Steep angles over 45° trade horizontal range for height — see how a 75° angle compares to the 45° optimum.
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.
