Projectile Motion

A projectile follows a parabolic path under constant gravity. Horizontal velocity vₓ = v₀·cosθ stays constant (no air resistance). Vertical velocity vᵧ = v₀·sinθ − gt changes due to gravity. Range R = v₀²·sin(2θ)/g is maximized at 45°. Max height H = v₀²·sin²θ/(2g). Time of flight T = 2v₀·sinθ/g.
