What is time of flight in physics? Time
0:02
of flight is the total time taken by a
0:05
projectile to travel from the point of
0:07
projection to the point where it lands.
0:09
Time of flight depends on the vertical
0:11
component of the initial velocity.
0:14
It represents the complete duration of
0:16
motion of the projectile while it is in
0:19
the air. For a projectile launched and
0:21
landing at the same level, the time
0:23
taken to go up is equal to the time
0:26
taken to come down. Time of flight
0:28
increases when the initial velocity or
0:30
the angle of projection increases up to
0:33
90. Imagine throwing a ball into the air
0:36
and catching it when it comes back down.
0:39
The total time from when you throw it to
0:41
when you catch it is the time of flight.
0:43
Examples: A ball thrown and caught at
0:45
the same height. A football kicked into
0:48
the air. A stone projected upward and
0:50
falling back. Water droplets from a
0:52
fountain rising and falling. Motion of a
0:55
projectile from launch to landing
