I need to calculate vertical velocity for a perjectile
The calculation of vertical velocity for a projectile is determined by the formula v = -gt + v0, where g represents the acceleration due to gravity, specifically -9.8 m/s² in metric units and -32.2 ft/s² in English units. This formula assumes no air resistance, allowing for straightforward computation of vertical velocity over time. The initial velocity, v0, is the velocity at time t=0 seconds, which is crucial for accurate calculations.
