How does GC Wizard help with ballistics?

Projectile motion – Wikipedia

The Ballistics tool is used to perform calculations for the inclined throw. Optionally without or with consideration of the air resistance according to Newton.

GC Wizard has the following options for the calculations:

  • Angle, Speed => Distance, Duration
  • Angle, duration=> distance, speed
  • Angle, Distance=> Speed, Duration
  • Distance, Duration => Angle, Speed
  • Duration , Speed => Distance, Angle
  • Distance, speed => angle, duration

Further inputs are

  • Acceleration
  • Height above zero of the drop point

If air resistance is to be taken into account, further inputs are required for the throwing object:

  • Mass
  • diameter
  • Density
  • Air resistance
