Horizontal Projectile Motion Calculator

Calculate Time of Flight and Horizontal Distance



Formulas

The formula to calculate the Time of Flight (t) is:

\[ t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \]

Where:

The formula to calculate the Horizontal Distance (x) is:

\[ x = V \cdot t \]

Where:

Horizontal Projectile Motion Definition

Horizontal projectile motion is defined as an object that is moving horizontally under only the force of gravity and velocity.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formulas:

\[ t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 20}{9.8}} \approx 2.02 \text{ s} \]

\[ x = 10 \cdot 2.02 \approx 20.2 \text{ m} \]

The Time of Flight (t) is approximately 2.02 seconds, and the Horizontal Distance (x) is approximately 20.2 meters.
