Speed, Trajectory and Range of Projectiles | Year 2 Mech | A Level Maths

Standard projectile problems require derivations of key formulae from first principles. In this lesson you will learn how to derive formulae for time of flight, range and greatest height of a projectile, derive the equation of the path of a projectile, and use these results to solve problems including those where the launch and landing heights differ.
