Projectile Motion Simulator

Set the launch velocity, angle and gravity, then watch the trajectory play out.

  1. Set velocity, angle and gravity
  2. Click Launch to animate
  3. Read time of flight, max height and range

Ideal projectile motion (no air resistance). Runs entirely in your browser.

Time of flight
4.32 s
Max height
22.94 m
Range
91.74 m

Ideal projectile motion (no air resistance): t = 2v₀sinθ/g, h = v₀²sin²θ/2g, range = v₀²sin(2θ)/g. Runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Does the simulation account for air resistance?
No — it models ideal projectile motion with no air resistance, which matches the standard physics-class equations for range, max height and time of flight.
Can I change the gravity value?
Yes — gravity is adjustable, so you can simulate throws on the Moon, Mars or any custom value alongside Earth’s standard 9.8 m/s².
What results does the simulator show?
After launching, it reports time of flight, maximum height and horizontal range, calculated from the velocity and angle you set.
Is any data sent to a server?
No — the whole simulation, including the trajectory animation, runs locally in your browser.
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
No. It runs entirely in your browser — no software install, no account, no email required.
