Projectile on an Incline Calculator
Calculate key parameters for a projectile launched on an incline (with the projectile moving upward relative to the plane).
The equations used are:
Time of Flight:
\[
t = \frac{2\,v_0\,\sin\left(\theta-\phi\right)}{g\,\cos\phi}
\]
Range along the incline:
\[
R = \frac{2\,v_0^2\,\cos\theta\,\sin\left(\theta-\phi\right)}{g\,\cos^2\phi}
\]
Maximum height above the incline:
\[
h = \frac{v_0^2\,\sin^2\left(\theta-\phi\right)}{2\,g\,\cos\phi}
\]
*Ensure that the launch angle (θ) is greater than the incline angle (φ).
* Enter the initial velocity (m/s), launch angle (°), incline angle (°), and gravitational acceleration (m/s²).
Step 1: Enter Parameters
Example: 20 m/s
Example: 45° (measured from horizontal)
Example: 15° (angle of the incline relative to horizontal)
Example: 9.81 m/s²
