Projectile Motion
Complete notes on oblique projectile, horizontal projectile, trajectory equation, range, complementary angles, building projection, radius of curvature and advanced projectile results.
Oblique Projectile Motion
For launch speed u at angle θ, choose upward as positive. Horizontal acceleration is zero and vertical acceleration is -g.
Time of Flight, Maximum Height and Range
Time of Flight
At landing y = 0. So T = 2u sin θ / g.
T = (2u sin θ)/gMaximum Height
At top vy = 0. Use vy2 = uy2 - 2gH.
H = u2 sin2θ / 2gHorizontal Range
R = horizontal speed × time of flight.
R = u2 sin 2θ / gRange and Complementary Angles
For same initial speed u, horizontal range is R = u2 sin 2θ / g. Range is maximum when sin 2θ = 1, so 2θ = 90° and θ = 45°.
Trajectory Equation
For standard projectile, use Elementor-safe equations and eliminate time step by step.
Horizontal Projectile and Projectile from Building
Horizontal Projection
x = uty = ½gt2y = gx2/(2u2)
Upward Angle from Height
x = u cos θ · ty = u sin θ · t - ½gt2
Downward Angle from Height
x = u cos θ · ty = -u sin θ · t - ½gt2
Sign convention must be stated before using formulas. If downward is chosen positive, signs change consistently.
