Basic Equations and Parabolic Path

Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object moves in parabolic path; the path that the object follows is called its trajectory.

Solving Problems

In projectile motion, an object moves in parabolic path; the path the object follows is called its trajectory.

Zero Launch Angle

An object launched horizontally at a height HHH travels a range v02Hgv_0 \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}v​0​​√​​g​​2H​​​​​ during a time of flight T=2HgT = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}T=√​​g​​2H​​​​​ .

General Launch Angle

The initial launch angle (0-90 degrees) of an object in projectile motion dictates the range, height, and time of flight of that object.
