A projectile is any object thrown into space (empty or not) by the exertion of a force. Although any object in motion through space (for example a thrown baseball) may be called a projectile, the term more commonly refers to a ranged weapon. Mathematical equations of motion are used to analyze projectile trajectory. An object projected at an angle to the horizontal has both the vertical and horizontal components of velocity. The vertical component of the velocity on the y-axis given as Vy=USin(teta) while the horizontal component of the velocity Vx=UCos(teta). There are various terms used in projectiles at specific angle teta 1. Time to reach maximum height. It is symbolized as (t), which is the time taken for the projectile to reach the maximum height from the plane of projection. Mathematically, it is given as t=USin(teta)/g Where g=acceleration due to gravity(app 9.81m/s²) U= initial velocity (m/s) teta= angle made by the projectile with the horizontal axis.

2. Time of flight (T): this is the total time taken for the projectile to fall back to the same plane from which it was projected. Mathematically it is given as T=2USin(teta)/g

3. Maximum Height (H): this is the maximum height attained by the projectile OR the maximum displacement on the vertical axis(y-axis) covered by the projectile. It is given as H= U²Sin²(teta)/2g

4. Range(R): The Range of a projectile is the horizontal distance covered (on the x-axis) by the projectile. Mathematically, R= U²Sin2(teta)/g. The Range is maximum when angle teta= 45° I.e Sin2(teta)=1.
