Editing Projectile motion (section)

=== Time of flight to the target's position ===
As shown above in the '''Displacement''' section, the horizontal and vertical velocity of a projectile are independent of each other.

Because of this, we can find the time to reach a target using the displacement formula for the horizontal velocity:

<math>x = v_0 t \cos(\theta)</math>

<math>\frac{x}{t}=v_0\cos(\theta)</math>

<math>t=\frac{x}{v_0\cos(\theta)}</math>

This equation will give the total time ''t'' the projectile must travel for to reach the target's horizontal displacement, neglecting air resistance.
