What is the formula to calculate the time of flight for a projectile?
time of flight = (initial velocity^2 * sin(2 * angle of projection)) / acceleration due to gravity
time of flight = (2 * initial velocity * sin(angle of projection)) / (acceleration due to gravity)^2
time of flight = (initial velocity * sin(angle of projection)) / acceleration due to gravity
time of flight = (2 * initial velocity * sin(angle of projection)) / acceleration due to gravity
