Projectile Range at 30°, 20 m/s
A projectile at 30° and 20 m/s travels approximately 35.35 m — less than the 45° optimum but with a flatter trajectory.

At 30°, the projectile travels less far than at 45° but stays lower, which matters in sports like golf where obstacle clearance is a factor.
Frequently asked questions
- How does this differ from the projectile motion calculator?
- That tool plots the trajectory chart and supports non-zero launch height. This calculator focuses on exact numerical outputs from the standard range formula.
- What launch angle gives the greatest range?
- 45° on flat ground with no air resistance. Air resistance shifts the optimal angle slightly below 45°.
