Basic Equations and Parabolic Path
Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object moves in parabolic path; the path that the object follows is called its trajectory.

Solving Problems
In projectile motion, an object moves in parabolic path; the path the object follows is called its trajectory.

General Launch Angle
The initial launch angle (0-90 degrees) of an object in projectile motion dictates the range, height, and time of flight of that object.
