This document defines terms related to projectile motion such as range, time of flight, and maximum height. It provides equations to calculate initial velocity, time, and maximum height for a projectile. As an example, it shows the calculation to find the range of a long jumper leaving the ground at 30 degrees and 6 m/s, determining the time of flight is 0.61s and range is 3.18m.
