    1. Introduction
    Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the
    acceleration of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory. The
    motion of falling objects, is a simple one-dimensional type of projectile motion in which there is
    no horizontal movement. This project consider two-dimensional projectile motion, such as that
    of the cannon ball or other object for which air resistance is negligible (figure 1) [1].

    2. Theory

    The motion equation of projectile motion can be described as follows:

    With is gravity acceleration vector. Expressing by component in the cartesian coordinates


    reference with Ox – the ground surface and Oy – the height, we can obtain following differential
    equations:

    With the initial conditions (t = 0) as follows: .


    Using the symbolic calculation of MATLAB, we can solve mentioned differential equations to
    obtain the motion equation of the projectile motion, from which the necessary features of the
    motion can be derived.

    3. MATLAB Code and Explanation


    Formulate the differential equations of the motion inchuding the initial conditions:
    % Projectile motion
    clear; clc;
    syms x(t) y(t);
    syms v0 theta g;
    Dx = diff(x,t);
    Dy = diff(y,t);
    ode1 = diff(x,2) == 0;
    ode2 = diff(y,2) == -g;
    ic = [Dx(0) == v0*cos(theta); Dy(0) == v0*sin(theta); x(0) == 0;
    y(0) == 0];

    Solve the differential equations by the command dsolve of symbolic calculation:

    h = dsolve(ode1,ode2,ic);

    Represent the results in the Command Window :


    % Motion equations
    disp('Motion equation for x:');
    h.x
    disp('Motion equation for y:');
    h.y

    Plot the trajectory for v0 = 1, theta = pi/2, g = 10 in a new figure:


    % Trajectory
    h1 = subs(h.x,[v0,theta,g],[1,pi/4,10]);
    h2 = subs(h.y,[v0,theta,g],[1,pi/4,10]);
    fplot(h1,h2)

    Above results exactly match the results manually calculated. With Matlab calculation, we can
    replace appropriately many others values of quantities to study other special cases.

    5. Conclusion
    The project has completed the solution of the projectile motion problem using MATLAB
    symbolic calculation. With this tool we can solve more complex motion situations that cannot be
    solved by the analytical method.
