Throws Distance Calculator
Physics-based calculator for shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw. Analyze release angle, velocity, and height to optimize throwing technique and calculate potential distance gains.
Event
Release Velocity: 13 m/s
Release Angle: 37°
Release Height
0.5 - 3.0 m, measured at the moment of released = v·cosθ × (v·sinθ + √(v²sin²θ + 2gh)) ÷ g
(ideal projectile motion from release height h, g = 9.81 m/s²)Based on ideal projectile motion with no air resistance. Real throws — especially discus and javelin, where aerodynamic lift matters — will differ from these distances. Use it to compare release setups, not to predict marks.
