c) Position vector of the particle
\(
\vec U = \left( {u\cos \theta } \right)\hat{i} + \left( {u\sin \theta } \right)\hat{j}
\)
\(
\overrightarrow a = - g\hat{j}
\)
\(
\overrightarrow s = \overrightarrow u t + \frac{1}

\)
\(
\overrightarrow r = \left[ {\left( {u\cos \theta } \right)\hat{i} + \left( {u\sin \theta } \right)\hat{j}} \right]t + \frac{1}
{2}\left( { - g\hat j} \right)t^2
\)
\(
\overrightarrow r = (u\cos \theta \,t)\hat{i} + \left( {u\sin \theta \,t - \frac{1}
{2}gt^2 } \right)\hat j
\)
\(
\overrightarrow r = \text{x}\,\,\hat{i} + y\hat j
\) \(
x = (u\cos \theta )t
\)
\(
y = (u\sin \theta )t - \frac{1}
{2}gt^2
\)
Magnitude of displacement of projecticle S = \(
\sqrt {x^2 + y^2 }
\)
angle made by the position vector with horizontal.
\(
Tan\,\alpha = \frac{{(U\sin \theta )t - \frac{1}
{2}gt^2 }}
{{(U\cos \theta )t}}
\)
Tan \(
\alpha = \frac{{U\sin \theta - \frac{1}
{2}gt}}
{{U\cos \theta }}
