The parametric equations for a projectile with constant gravity g:
[x = v_0 t \cos \theta + x_0]
[y = -\frac{1}{2} gt^2 + v_0 t \sin \theta + y_0]
ex. A shell is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 768 ft/sec. at an angle of 30°. Find:
(\vec{r}(t))
the maximum altitude attained
the range of the shell
the speed on impact
the horizontal distance when (y = 2240) ft.
