What shape is the trajectory of a projectile when air resistance is negligible?

Parabolic

What determines the maximum height reached by a projectile?

Only uyu_y and y0y_0

When does a projectile reach its maximum height?

When vy=0v_y = 0

How does horizontal velocity change during projectile flight?

Remains constant

At what launch angle does a projectile achieve maximum horizontal range?

45°45°

What is the time of flight formula for a symmetric trajectory?

t=2uygt = -\frac{2u_y}{g}

How is horizontal range calculated for any projectile?

xmax=uxtflightx_{\text{max}} = u_x t_{\text{flight}}

What is the formula for maximum height when launched from height y0y_0?

h=y0uy22gh = y_0 - \frac{u_y^2}{2g}

What happens to final velocity magnitude in symmetric trajectories?

Same as initial velocity

What is true about complementary launch angles (e.g., 30°30° and 60°60°)?

They achieve the same range
