I want to learn how to figure out the trajectory of an object?

does someone know a good site where i can learn how to calculate the trajectory of an object. I am in the eighth grade so there are no calculus teachers around.I want to learn how to figure out the trajectory of an object?
First of all, the question should go under physics, not math. Second, there is no calculus involved, just a little algebra. Calculus was used to come up with the equations, but is not needed for basic projectile motion type calculations





some basic formulas with no calculus are here

Some even better stuff if here

Ask him if he has actually taken any college level calculus or physics, probably not. My high school calculus teacher was only about a half step ahead of the students, only had calc. 1 in collegeI want to learn how to figure out the trajectory of an object?
yes this is a calculus question. if you google 'projectile formula', the second tab has all you will need.





d=vo*t + 0.5*a*t^2





d=distance from starting point


vo=initial velocity


a=acceleration


t=time passed





you will have to do a few different problems first to find vo and a and t. but this is how it's done and this is a common calculus problem but you will see more examples of it in physics. Good luck and hope this helped.
