Kinematics of Projectile Motion

One of the powers of physics is its capability to use physics principles to form predictions about the final outcome of a moving object. Such predictions are made through the application of physical principles and mathematical formulas to a provided set of initial conditions. In the case of projectiles, a student of physics could use information about the initial velocity and position of a projectile to predict like things as how much time the projectile is within the air and how far the projectile will go.
