Calculate the maximum height reached by a projectile launched at an angle. This calculator uses the vertical component of the initial velocity to determine peak height above the launch point.
Enter your values below
Launch speed of the projectile
Angle above the horizontal
Default is 9.81 m/s²
How this calculator works
Maximum height equals initial velocity squared times sine of launch angle squared, divided by twice gravitational acceleration.
