physics.fisikastudycenter.com - a shortcut to certain case of parabolic motion. The case (a half parabolic) presents in the figure below.
The distance (d), the time needed (t) and the angle formed (θ) from the case could be found with our shortcuts below:
| Distance | Time | Angle |

where
ν = the launching speed of the ball
h = the initial height from the ground
g = acceleration due to gravity
d = the horizontal distance reached
t = the time taken to reach the ground
θ = the angle formed by the ground and the velocity of the ball when reaches the ground
