Projectile motion is a form of motion wherein an object moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on gravity.

An object projected by force and continuing in motion by its own inertia.An objectile is a a projectile only when it is in a state of motion,usually it covers a parabola shape path.
when a body is thrown at an angle in a projectile motion, the vertical component of the velocity is vcos(B) ..where v is the velocity at which the body is thrown and B represents the angle at which it is thrown.Similarly horizontal component is vsin(B). these components are useful in determining the range of the projectile ,the maximum height reached,time of ascent,time of descent etc.,
A projectile has vectors. This can be put in x and y. If it's simple physics, there is really not much algebra.
Get the value of initial velocity. Get the angle of projection. Break initial velocity into components along x and y axis. Apply the equation of motion .
