Velocity: Let us consider vx and vy are the horizontal and vertical component of velocities at point P(x, y). As gravitational acceleration (g) acts downwards, then horizontal component of acceleration is gcos900 = 0.
So, vx = ux = ucos
——–(1)
And vy = uy – gt = usin
– gt ——–(2)
So, the magnitude of velocity of particle at point P is v =

Displacement: Let us consider, the coordinates of point P is (x, y).
So, x = uxt = utcos

And y = uyt –

The trajectory of the motion is y = usin

Maximum height: At point A, particle is at maximum height. At point A, the velocity of the particle is along the tangent. So, vy= 0.
Therefore, usin
– gt = 0 [using equation (2)]
∴ t = 
Substituting the value of t in equation (5) we get, maximum height
H = usin

Time of flight: The total time taken by the particle during its motion is T. During time of flight then the net displacement along y axis is 0. From equation(5) we get, uTsin

gT2 = 0
∴T =
