Projectile on an Incline (Downward Motion) Calculator
Calculate key parameters for a projectile launched downward on an incline (with the projectile moving downward relative to the plane).
The equations used are:
Time of Flight:
\[
t = \frac{2\,v_0\,\sin\left(\phi-\theta\right)}{g\,\cos\phi}
\]
Range along the Incline:
\[
R = \frac{2\,v_0^2\,\cos\theta\,\sin\left(\phi-\theta\right)}{g\,\cos^2\phi}
\]
* Enter the initial velocity (m/s), launch angle (°), incline angle (°), and gravitational acceleration (m/s²). Ensure that the launch angle is less than the incline angle.
Step 1: Enter Parameters
Example: 20 m/s
Example: 20° (measured from the horizontal)
Example: 30° (angle of the incline relative to horizontal)
Example: 9.81 m/s²
