Mode: How the solver should be ran. Blind: allows full control of all fields. Find theta/velocity will find the angle or velocity needed given the other parameter. Find Minimum will find the minimum velocity needed and the corresponding angle. | ||||

When the chart background is yellow, computation is needed; hit enter or press compute.
When the chart background is red, the current combination of inputs cannot be solved for.
Check out the different solver modes- this calculator can find release angle, distance, or velocity given other parameters.
The "Find Minimum Velocity" mode ignores air resistance, so will not be accurate with those parameters.
