Formula for Trajectory of a Projectile?

Answer: Hence the equation of the trajectory of the projectile is y = x√3 - 0.544x2.

How do you find the trajectory of a projectile?

Use this trajectory calculator to find the flight path of a projectile.
...
Trajectory formula
  1. x = Vx * t => t = x / Vx.
  2. y = h + Vy * t - g * t² / 2 = h + x * Vy / Vx - g * (x / Vx)² / 2.
  3. y = h + x * (V₀ * sin(α)) / (V₀ * cos(α)) - g * (x / V₀ * cos(α))² / 2.

What is the trajectory of projectile?

Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object moves in a bilaterally symmetrical, parabolic path. The path that the object follows is called its trajectory. Projectile motion only occurs when there is one force applied at the beginning on the trajectory, after which the only interference is from gravity.
