====Range and height==== [[Image:Ideal projectile motion for different angles.svg|thumb|350px|Trajectories of projectiles launched at different elevation angles but the same speed of 10 m/s in a vacuum and uniform downward gravity field of 10 m/s<sup>2</sup>. Points are at 0.05 s intervals and length of their tails is linearly proportional to their speed. ''t'' = time from launch, ''T'' = time of flight, ''R'' = range and ''H'' = highest point of trajectory (indicated with arrows).]] The '''range''', ''R'', is the greatest distance the object travels along the [[x-axis]] in the I sector. The '''initial velocity''', ''v<sub>i</sub>'', is the speed at which said object is launched from the point of origin. The '''initial angle''', ''ΞΈ<sub>i</sub>'', is the angle at which said object is released. The ''g'' is the respective gravitational pull on the object within a null-medium. : <math>R={v_i^2\sin2\theta_i\over g}</math> The '''height''', ''h'', is the greatest parabolic height said object reaches within its trajectory : <math>h={v_i^2\sin^2\theta_i\over 2g}</math>
