The Projectile Motion Calculator is a free online tool that helps you display the motion of an object which is projected into the air. In simple Physics, the projectile motion is technically defined as the motion of an object which is projected into the air stream and is subjected to the gravitational acceleration.
The path of the object that it travels is called the trajectory, the object is called a projectile and the motion of the object is called the projectile motion.
So, the projectile motion of an object can occur in any of the forms, namely – circular path, straight path, parabolic, hyperbolic, elliptic, so on and so forth. The projectile motion is used in mechanical engineering designs.
The projectile motion also gives us a clear idea about the motion of the object that is close to the earth surface, which is mostly subjected to the acceleration due to gravity.
The procedure to use the projectile motion calculator is as under:
Step 1: First, you enter the range, initial velocity, acceleration due to gravity, angle value, and x for the unknown in the input field.
Step 2: Next, you click the button “Calculate the Unknown” to get the value.
Step 3: Then, you get the projectile motion of the object will be displayed in the output field.
