Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Projectile Max Height is an essential tool for understanding Projectile Max Height in quantitative terms. Calculate maximum height of a projectile.

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = (v × v × Math.sin(a × π ÷ 180) × Math.sin(a × π ÷ 180)) ÷ (2 × 9.8)
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Symbol Parameter Unit
v Initial Vel (v) m/s
a Angle (θ) deg

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Initial Vel (v) = 25 m/s
  • Angle (θ) = 15 deg

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = (25 × 25 × M15th.sin(15 × π ÷ 180) × M15th.sin(15 × π ÷ 180)) ÷ (2 × 9.8)
