Calculate Maximum Height of a Projectile

A projectile is an object that is given an initial velocity, and is acted on by gravity. The maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory and is measured in terms of meters (m). The maximum height of the projectile depends on the initial velocity v0, the launch angle θ, and the acceleration due to gravity. Given here is an online tool that helps you calculate maximum height of a projectile given the required values.

According to the laws of physics, when a projectile flies into the air, its trajectory is shaped by Earth’s gravitational pull. Because the force of gravity only acts downward in the vertical direction you can treat the vertical and horizontal components separately. As a result, you can calculate how far the projectile can travel straight up in the air.
