Initial Height Calculator







Formula

The formula to calculate the initial height is:

\[ H_i = H_f + V \times t + 0.5 \times g \times t^2 \]

What is Initial Height?

Initial height is the height from which an object starts its motion when dropped or thrown vertically upwards or downwards. It is an important parameter in kinematics for determining the motion of objects under the influence of gravity.

Initial Height Example

Let's assume the following:

Step 1: Calculate the initial height:

\[ H_i = 10 + (5 \times 2) + 0.5 \times 9.80665 \times 2^2 \]

\[ H_i = 10 + 10 + 0.5 \times 9.80665 \times 4 \]

\[ H_i = 10 + 10 + 19.6133 = 39.6133 \, \text{meters} \]

Therefore, the initial height is approximately 39.61 meters.
