A throwing distance calculator estimates the maximum range of a projectile (ball, javelin, discus) based on initial speed, release angle, and height, using projectile motion physics. The optimal angle for maximum range on a level surface is 45°.
Guide étape par étape
- 1Range = (v₀² × sin(2θ)) / g (for level ground)
- 2Optimal angle = 45° for maximum range on flat ground
- 3With wind: tailwind assists, headwind reduces range
- 4Release height above landing increases effective range
