Projectile data

Projectile motion for initial height = 1m, g = 9.81 ms^-2

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


Further projection velocities follow.



Formulae used to calculate these values:

Maximum Height reached = u²sin²A/2g + 1
Horizontal motion: Distance travelled = ucosA t
Vertical motion: h-1 = usinAt – ½ gt²

Initial velocity u, angle of projection A, time t, height h

To make the problem a little simpler is assumed that the muzzle of the gun is always 1m above the ground no matter what the angle of the gun.
