Projectile motion in a uniform gravitational field has parametric equations x(t)=v₀ cos(θ) t, y(t)=v₀ sin(θ) t–(1/2)gt². For instance, to find max height, solve dy/dt=0 or use energy methods. Range occurs when y=0 again. Mastering these equations helps compute time of flight, max height, or horizontal range. Common in physics, ballistics, or sports analytics. Understanding parametric forms merges trigonometry, kinematics, and algebra for real-world curved paths and timing, from tossing a ball to designing ballistic arcs.
