SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the request for the six essential projectile motion formulas needed to solve homework problems. The user, Ripcurl, provided two formulas: ∆y=Viy∆t-1/2g∆t² and ∆x=Vix∆t. A forum member clarified that these formulas are part of the Kinematic Equations of Motion and directed the user to a Wikipedia article for further information. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these equations for solving projectile motion problems in physics.
