3.3.2 Position, velocity, range and maximum height (A-level only)

A projectile is launched at speed uuu and angle θ\thetaθ above the horizontal. What is its initial horizontal velocity?

A

uy=usin⁡θu_y=u\sin\thetauy​=usinθ

B

Its horizontal velocity remains ucos⁡θu\cos\thetaucosθ.

C

ux=ucos⁡θu_x=u\cos\thetaux​=ucosθ

D

T=2usin⁡θgT=\frac{2u\sin\theta}{g}T=g2usinθ​
