๐Ÿ“š Projectile Motion Theory

A projectile follows a parabolic path under constant gravity. The motion can be analyzed separately in x and y directions.

x = vโ‚€ยทcos(ฮธ)ยทt
y = yโ‚€ + vโ‚€ยทsin(ฮธ)ยทt - ยฝgtยฒ

Time of flight: T = (vโ‚€sin(ฮธ) + โˆš((vโ‚€sin(ฮธ))ยฒ + 2gyโ‚€))/g

Maximum height: H = yโ‚€ + (vโ‚€ยฒsinยฒ(ฮธ))/(2g)

Range: R = (vโ‚€ยฒsin(2ฮธ))/g (for launch from ground)
