Projectile data

Projectile motion for initial height = 0 m, g = 9.81 ms-2


Units: velocity ms-1, angle degrees, time seconds, range m, height m.


Formulae used to calculate these values:

Maximum height reached = u2sin2A/2g
Horizontal motion: Distance travelled = ucosA t
Vertical motion: h = usinAt – ½ gt2

Initial velocity u, angle of projection A, total time for the projectile path (that given in the table) = 2t, maximum height h

To make the problem a little simpler is assumed that the projectile is always launched from ground level.

The range is taken to be the distance travelled horizontally by the projectile back to ground level.
