calculate_projectile_motion
Solve for projectile motion: input velocity, angle, and height to get range, maximum height, and time of flight. Essential for physics and ballistics.
Instructions
Compute projectile trajectory: range, max height, time of flight. Use for physics or ballistics. Inputs: initial velocity, launch angle, height. Returns range, peak, flight time. See list_bundles for related 'science' calculators.
