Initial Angle Formula
The formula to calculate the initial angle is:
\[ \text{IA} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \arcsin\left(\frac{g \cdot d}{v^2}\right) \cdot 57.2958 \]
Where:
- IA is the initial angle (degrees)
- d is the distance traveled (m)
- v is the initial velocity (m/s)
- g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
How to Calculate the Initial Angle?
- Determine the distance traveled (m): Measure the distance the projectile travels horizontally.
- Determine the initial velocity (m/s): Measure or estimate the initial velocity of the projectile.
- Use the formula: Plug the values into the formula: IA = 0.5 * asin(g * d / v²) * 57.2958.
- Calculate the initial angle: Perform the calculation to get the angle in degrees.
This tool simplifies the process of determining the initial launch angle for projectiles based on distance and velocity.
