    For a projectile first with velocity u at an angle theta with the horizontal.

    Why does a projectile fired along the horizontal not follow a straight line path ?

    The angle of which the velocity vector of a projectile thrown with a velocity u at an angle theta to the horizontal will take with the horizontal after time t of its being thrown up is

    When a projectile is fired at an angle theta w.r.t horizontal with velocity u, then its vertical component:

    The velocity at the maximum height of a projectile is half of its velocity of projection u . Its range on the horizontal plane is
