I have never taken any physics course before, but I am designing a game in which the projectile(bullet) is going to drop over time.
I want to know which equation do I use to calculate the position on a trajectory. Given that I have the angle, and initial velocity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory
From this would it be the Derivation of the equation of motion as it is the only one I can see there that is returning a y value.
Secondly, if this is true, would the black trajectory here:

Represent the kind of output I'm going to see, since (at the moment) I am not incorporating any drag?
Thanks in advance
