Calculadora de Alcance de Projétil

The Projectile Range Calculator determines the maximum horizontal distance traveled by a projectile launched from ground level, assuming launch and impact points are at the same height. The calculation uses the formula R = v²·sin(2θ)/g, where v is initial velocity, θ is launch angle, and g is gravity acceleration (usually 9.8 m/s²). This tool is useful for physics students, engineers, and enthusiasts wanting to predict projectile motion in parabolic paths.

Operation is straightforward: enter initial velocity (in m/s) and launch angle (in degrees). The calculator applies the formula and returns the range in meters. It assumes ideal conditions: no air resistance and constant gravity. Complementary angles (e.g., 30° and 60°) yield the same range, and maximum range occurs at 45°.

Use this calculator in scenarios such as estimating how far a soccer ball travels after a kick, calculating projectile range in ballistics games, or verifying kinematics exercises. It also aids in designing projectile launch experiments in physics labs.

Cautions: the formula ignores drag, wind, or gravity variations. For real-world accuracy (e.g., sports or ballistics), external factors may affect results. Also, the angle must be between 0° and 90°; outside this range, the projectile would have no positive range.
