Question
The image contains a chart designed to illustrate how various factors affect the path of a projectile. The factors considered are increasing launch height, increasing mass, increasing initial speed for both horizontally and non-horizontally launched projectiles, and increasing launch angles from 0-45° and 45-90°. The chart outlines how these factors influence the following variables:

- Final Horizontal Velocity
- Final Vertical Velocity
- Time in the Air
- Range
- Maximum Height

The chart is currently empty and requires completion based on knowledge or experimentation regarding projectile motion.

Below the chart, there is a question:

"For a non-horizontally launched projectile, how does the time it takes the projectile to rise from its launch height to its maximum height compare to the time it takes the projectile to return to its launch height?"

This question prompts a discussion or calculation regarding the symmetry of projectile motion in the vertical direction.

Introduction

(Note: According to the company policy only the first question and first 3 subparts of that question are to be solved.

So only the first three rows are explained. Please post the question again and specify clear that the last three rows are to be solved. Thank you! )

Projectile motion:This motion can be divided into two dimensionsx = ucosθ t                ....(1)y = usinθ t - g2t2     ....(2)here x and y are coordinates of the projectile at any time instance t, considering the projectileis launched from origin. g is acceleration due to gravity, u is initial velocity, θ is angle of projection with respectto horizontal.The above equations are valid when,1. Air resistance is ignored.2. Maximum height of the projectile is much lesser than radius of the earth.The equation for maximum height is , H = u2 (sinθ)22g    ....(3)Range of projectile is, R = u2sin(2θ)g     ....(4)time of flight, T = 2usinθg   ....(5)Also note thet from equation (1), there is no acceleration involved in x-direction, therefore, horizontal velocitynever changes Differentiating (1) with respect to t we getvx = u sinθ    ....(6)   this is instantaneous velocity in x-directionsimilarly differentiatin  (2) wrt tvy = u sinθ - gt    ....(7)
