Simple Projectile Motion

LAUCH ANGLE

The angle at which the projectile is launched relative to the horizontal. This angle significantly affects the range, height, and time of flight.

INITIAL VELOCITY

The speed at which the object is launched. It's a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY

The constant acceleration experienced by the projectile in the vertical direction due to Earth's gravity.

TIME OF FLIGHT

The total time the object spends in the air from launch to landing. It's determined by the initial speed, launch angle, and gravity.

RANGE

​​The horizontal distance the projectile travels from the launch points to the landing point. It depends on the initial speed, launch angle, and gravity.​​​​

MAXIMUM HEIGHT

The highest vertical point the projectile reaches during its flight. It occurs when the vertical velocity becomes zero.
