Setting up our equations:
• In general, we take our initial x-position as x = 0
• And we take GROUND LEVEL as y = 0
Setting up our equations:
• In general, we take our initial x-position as x = 0
• And we take GROUND LEVEL as y = 0
• This means that our initial y-position is often not zero!
Setting up our equations:
Initial height above ground level
Horizontal velocity component is constant!
Setting up our equations:
Initial height above ground level
Horizontal velocity component is constant!
Vertical velocity affected by gravity (32 ft/sec2)
Our Equations of Motion:
• In the horizontal direction:
x = vx t
Horizontal distance traveled Horizontal velocity
Our Equations of Motion:
• In the horizontal direction:
x = vx t
Horizontal distance traveled Horizontal velocity

Our Equations of Motion:
• In the horizontal direction
• In the vertical direction
• Because both x and y are defined in terms of another parameter, t, we call thesePARAMETRIC EQUATIONS
