Football Kick: 25 m/s at 40°
A football kicked at 25 m/s and 40° travels approximately 63.1 m on flat ground, ignoring air resistance.

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°.
