What was the origin? It's fairly useless to try to do these problems without drawing a diagram showing what's happening and what each variable represents.rashad764 said:

Projectile motion is the motion of an object through the air, under the influence of gravity. It is a combination of horizontal and vertical motion, and follows a curved path known as a parabola.
The key factors that affect projectile motion are the initial velocity, angle of launch, and the force of gravity. These factors determine the path and distance traveled by the object.
The trajectory of a projectile can be calculated using the equations of motion, which take into account the initial velocity, angle of launch, and time. These equations are often used in physics and mathematics to determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object at a given time.
Yes, a projectile can have a horizontal velocity component of zero at the highest point of its trajectory. This is because at this point, the projectile has reached its maximum height and has no horizontal acceleration. However, the vertical velocity component will still be present due to the force of gravity.
Air resistance, also known as drag, can affect projectile motion by slowing down the horizontal and vertical velocity components of the object. This can result in a shorter range and lower height for the projectile, compared to a scenario with no air resistance. The effect of air resistance is more significant for objects with larger surface areas and lower densities.
