Overview
In projectile motion, the trajectory is the parabolic path followed by the object. This calculator determines the vertical height matching a specific horizontal distance.
💡
Pro Tips
Launch angle is measured in degrees from the horizontal.
The path is a perfect parabola (if air resistance is ignored).
Maximum range is achieved at a 45° angle.

Fun Facts
"In a vacuum, a feather and a brick would follow identical trajectories."
"Real world projectiles (like baseballs) are significantly affected by air drag and 'spin' (Magnus effect)."
"The highest point in the trajectory is called the apex."
