About this calculator
Overview
This calculator uses projectile motion equations to estimate the horizontal distance a car will travel based on its launch speed, angle, and initial height.
💡
Pro Tips
The longest jump distance usually occurs at an angle of roughly 45 degrees if starting from ground level.
Launch height (like jumping off a cliff) significantly increases total distance.
Air resistance (drag) is ignored here but becomes significant at very high speeds.

Fun Facts
"The world record for the longest ramp-to-ramp car jump is over 100 meters!"
"Hollywood stunt coordinators use these physics for every car jump you see in movies."
"A car tilted too far forward or backward in the air can cause a disastrous landing (pitch control)."
