Glide Distance Calculator

This calculator can be used to determine the glide distance of an object based on its initial speed and glide angle.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Glide Distance = (Initial Speed^2) * sin(glideAngle) / g

Where:
Initial Speed = Initial speed of the object (m/s)
Glide Angle = Angle of descent (degrees)
g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2)

How to Use the Glide Distance Calculator

  1. Enter the initial speed of the object in meters per second (m/s).
  2. Enter the glide angle in degrees.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the glide distance.
  4. The result will be displayed in meters.

Working Principle

The glide distance is calculated using the formula:

Glide Distance = (Initial Speed^2) * sin(glideAngle) / g

This formula takes into account the initial speed of the object and the angle at which it descends. The acceleration due to gravity (g) is assumed to be 9.81 m/s^2.
