Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

v₀ = √(2 * g * h) for height or √(2 * g * d) for distance

Where:
v₀ = Initial Velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
h = Height (m)
d = Distance (m)

Minimum Initial Velocity Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Minimum Initial Velocity Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the height in meters (m) in the "Height" field if you want to calculate the minimum initial velocity required to reach that height.
  2. Enter the distance in meters (m) in the "Distance" field if you want to calculate the minimum initial velocity required to reach that distance.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to get the result.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Minimum Initial Velocity (m/s)" field.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the principle of projectile motion to calculate the minimum initial velocity required to reach a specified height or distance. The formula used is:

v₀ = √(2 * g * h) for height or √(2 * g * d) for distance

Where:

  • v₀ = Initial Velocity
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
  • h = Height (m)
  • d = Distance (m)
