Initial Angle Formula

IA = 1/2*asin(g*d/v^2) *57.2958

Variables:

• IA is the Initial Angle (degrees)
• d is the distance traveled (m)
• v is the initial velocity (m/s)

How to Calculate Initial Angle?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Initial Angle.

1. First, determine the distance traveled (m). 
2. Next, determine the initial velocity (m/s). 
3. Next, gather the formula from above = IA = 1/2*asin(g*d/v^2) *57.2958.
4. Finally, calculate the Initial Angle.
5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

distance traveled (m) = 300

initial velocity (m/s) = 40
