And the basics don't include being able to calculate the height and range?Ferdel said:

The formula for calculating the maximum height of a projectile is h = (v2sin2θ)/2g, where h is the maximum height, v is the initial velocity, θ is the angle of projection, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Air resistance, also known as drag, decreases the maximum height and distance of a projectile. This is because air resistance acts in the opposite direction of the projectile's motion, slowing it down and reducing its vertical and horizontal components of velocity.
No, the maximum height and distance of a projectile cannot be greater than the initial height and distance. This is because the projectile's motion is affected by gravity and air resistance, which act to decrease its height and distance.
Changing the angle of projection affects the maximum height and distance of a projectile by altering the vertical and horizontal components of its initial velocity. A higher angle of projection will result in a higher maximum height, but a shorter distance. Conversely, a lower angle of projection will result in a lower maximum height, but a longer distance.
Yes, there is a limit to the maximum height and distance a projectile can reach. This is due to the effects of gravity and air resistance, which act to decrease the projectile's height and distance. Additionally, the maximum height and distance are also limited by the initial velocity and angle of projection.
