Projectile Targeting Challenge
Calculate the launch angle, speed, or landing point needed to hit a target — then fire to find out if you got it right. Five escalating rounds cover solving for angle, solving for speed, solving for both simultaneously, launching from a height to reach a target height, and predicting a full landing range with the complete time-of-flight formula.
