Max height
15.928 m
Time to apex
1.802 s
vₓ (horizontal)
17.678 m/s

What it does
2D projectile motion under uniform gravity, no air resistance. Computes time of flight, range, max height, time to apex, and velocity components at launch + impact. SVG trajectory sketch included.
For arbitrary kinematics, use the vector calculator to decompose forces.
