Final Horizontal Velocity Calculator

Final Horizontal Velocity Calculator calculator can be used to calculate the final horizontal velocity of an object in projectile motion when given initial velocity, angle of projection, and time of flight.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Final Horizontal Velocity (Vx) = Initial Velocity × cos(Angle)

Where:
Vx = Final Horizontal Velocity
Initial Velocity = Initial velocity of the object
Angle = Angle of projection in degrees

Result

Final Horizontal Velocity (Vx): 0.00 m/s

Final Horizontal Velocity Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Final Horizontal Velocity Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the initial velocity of the object in meters per second (m/s).
  2. Enter the angle of projection in degrees (0-90 degrees).
  3. Enter the time of flight in seconds (s).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the final horizontal velocity.
  5. The result will be displayed in meters per second (m/s).

Working Principle

The final horizontal velocity of an object in projectile motion can be calculated using the formula:

Vx = V₀ × cos(θ)

Where:

  • Vx is the final horizontal velocity
  • V₀ is the initial velocity
  • θ is the angle of projection

This formula assumes no air resistance and that the horizontal component of velocity remains constant throughout the motion.

Example

If an object is projected with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees, the final horizontal velocity would be:

Vx = 20 × cos(30°) = 20 × 0.866 = 17.32 m/s
