`y = ( v_0 * sin( theta )) * "t" - 1/2 * g * "t" ^2`
`(v_0)"Initial Velocity" `
`(theta)"Launch Angle"`
`(t) "Time"`

This equation computes the vertical displacement for a ballistic projectile subject to only the force of gravity.  Inputs are:

  • `theta` - launch angle
  • `v_0` - magnitude of initial velocity
  • t - time of projectile motion
