Launch Velocity of a Projectile

trajectory range 1

Launch Velocity of a Projectile Formula

\( v_0 \;=\;   \sqrt{  \dfrac{ R \cdot g }{ sin \; 2 ( \theta )  } }\) 
Symbol English Metric
\( v_0 \) = launch velocity \(ft\;/\;sec\) \(m\;/\;s\)
\( R \) = horizontal range \(ft\) \(m\)
\( g \) = gravitational acceleration \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) \(m\;/\;s^2\)
\( \theta \) = vertical angle \(deg\) \( rad \)
