hi,

can some one help me with projectile??its a general question..what are the equations do we use to do a sum with projectile??to find velocity??maximum height??and other stuff..
please help me as soon as possible...

For a projectile, the only force acting is gravity, which acts downward. So the vertical component of motion is characterized by having a uniform downward acceleration while the horizontal component of the motion has constant speed. Use the appropriate kinematic equations for each component and then combine them to find any quantity of interest.
