Problems Plus 1: Projectile fired from the origin

In this video, I examine projectile motion launched from the origin and show that the projectile will always lie within a parabola defined by launching a projectile from the maximum height horizontally at the same initial velocity. I also show that if we are to aim directly at a target downrange and drop the target at the same instance of firing the projectile, then we will always hit our target!
