Year 12 Mathematics Extension 1 / Introduction to Vectors
Projectile Motion in Vector and Parametric Form
Model projectile motion as a vector function r(t) = (Vcosθ·t, Vsinθ·t − ½gt²), differentiate to find the velocity vector, and use them to find time of flight, maximum height, range, impact velocity, and solve problems with unknown launch speed or angle.
