Here is the problem: A projectile is launched at 20 m/s at 30° from a height of 10 m. Find its time of flight, range and maximum height.

2
00:00:10.551 --> 00:00:20.373
Treat horizontal and vertical motion separately: constant velocity horizontally, constant downward acceleration g vertically, ignoring air resistance.

3
00:00:21.173 --> 00:00:23.762
Split the launch velocity into components.

4
00:00:24.212 --> 00:00:25.628
Time to the highest point.

5
00:00:26.078 --> 00:00:27.181
Maximum height.

6
00:00:27.631 --> 00:00:29.651
Time of flight (land at height 0).

7
00:00:30.451 --> 00:00:31.705
Horizontal range.

8
00:00:32.155 --> 00:00:33.362
Impact velocity.

9
00:00:34.162 --> 00:00:57.742
So the answer is Time of flight approximately 2.7737474 s; range approximately 48.042714 m; maximum height approximately 15.09684 m; impact speed approximately 24.417207 m/s.

10
00:00:58.192 --> 00:01:07.585
Without air resistance the horizontal velocity never changes, while the vertical velocity falls by g every second. The flight ends when the height returns to zero.

11
00:01:08.384 --> 00:01:20.598
Energy check: v squared at impact equals 596.2 and v₀ squared plus 2gh₀ equals 596.2 (equal).
