Projectile Motion

Model of throwing objects. Constant acceleration so negligible air resistance and external forces.

Initial speed (ms⁻¹)
20.001 → 100
Launch angle (°)
45.000 → 90
Time t (s)
0.000 → 2.88 s

SUVAT used
verticals: (a = 0)
s = ut + ½at²
v = u + at
horizontals: (a = −g)
s = ut + ½at²
v = u + at
v² = u² + 2as
