Calculation Formula

Distance = (v₀² * sin(2θ)) / g

Where:
v₀ = Initial Velocity (m/s)
θ = Launch Angle (degrees)
g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

Lead Shot Distance Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Lead Shot Distance Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the initial velocity of the lead shot in meters per second (m/s).
  2. Enter the launch angle in degrees.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the distance the lead shot will travel.
  4. The calculated distance will be displayed in meters.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the projectile motion formula to calculate the distance. The formula is:

Distance = (v₀² * sin(2θ)) / g

Where:

  • v₀ is the initial velocity in meters per second (m/s).
  • θ is the launch angle in degrees.
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s².

This formula assumes no air resistance and level ground for the launch and landing points.
