Is the x component of the initial velocity equal to the velocity of the projectile at max height?
v0cosθ0i = vmax heighti
v0cosθ0i = vmax heighti

yes that is the assumptiongsal said:we are talking in vacuum, right?
Projectile motion velocity is the rate at which an object is moving in a specific direction at any given time during its motion. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
The formula for calculating projectile motion velocity is v = v0 + at, where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. This formula can be broken down into components (horizontal and vertical) if necessary.
Yes, projectile motion velocity can change during flight due to factors such as air resistance, gravity, and external forces. However, in the absence of these factors, the velocity remains constant.
Initial velocity refers to the velocity of an object at the beginning of its motion, while final velocity is the velocity at the end of its motion. In projectile motion, initial velocity is typically the velocity at which the object is launched, and final velocity is the velocity at which it lands.
Yes, projectile motion velocity can be negative if the object is moving in the opposite direction of the chosen coordinate system. For example, if the positive direction is upwards and the object is moving downwards, the velocity would be negative.
