Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Projectile Calculator?
Enter the initial velocity and launch angle (and optionally initial height), then calculate range, max height, and flight time.
Is Projectile Calculator free?
Yes, Projectile Calculator on ToolPix is 100% free with no signup or installation required.
Is my data safe?
All processing happens in your browser, your data never leaves your device.
What values can be calculated?
Range (horizontal distance), maximum height, time of flight, and the trajectory path are all computed.
Is air resistance included?
The default calculation uses ideal projectile motion without air resistance. An advanced mode with drag coefficient is also available.
