Projectile Motion: Range, Height, and Flight Time
Resolve velocity into components and use constant-acceleration equations to understand the trajectory.
Quick answer
Horizontal motion is constant while vertical motion accelerates downward. Solve the vertical quadratic for flight time, then multiply by horizontal velocity for range.
Formula and calculation method
vₓ=v₀cosθ; vᵧ=v₀sinθ
