Projectile Clearing an Object

 

Projectile Clearing an Object Formula

\(  y_h \;=\;  \dfrac{ d \cdot v_{0y} }{ v_{0x} } - \left( \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot g \cdot  \dfrac{ x^2}{v_{0x}^2 } \right)  \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( y_h \) = vertical position \( ft \) \( m \) 
\( d \) = horizontal position \( ft \) \( m \)
\( v_0 \) = launch velocity \(ft\;/\;sec\) \(m\;/\;s\)
\( g \) = gravitational acceleration \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) \(m\;/\;s^2\)
\( \theta \) = angle of the initial vertical from x-axis \( deg \) \( rad \)
