Analyze vertical motion under gravity with an initial velocity. This calculator handles both upward and downward throws, computing displacement, velocity, or time for the motion.
Enter your values below
Positive for upward, negative for downward
Time of the motion
Default is 9.81 m/s² (acts downward)
How this calculator works
Vertical displacement equals initial vertical velocity times time plus one-half gravitational acceleration times time squared.
