Initial Velocity

You want a projectile to fly as far as possible, at which angle should you launch it? We'll start with formulas for the initial velocity.

Determining how fast something will be traveling upon impact when it is released from a given height. 

In this unit you will apply your understanding of the components of motion in one dimension using linear equations. This will help you to solve problems about motion in one direction and equip you to understand how these concepts apply to everyday life.

There are three equations for linear motion with constant acceleration. They can be used to calculate, and therefore predict, the outcome of motion when three out of the four variables are known.
