The equation t = 2(Voy)/g represents the time it takes for a projectile to complete its trajectory and return to its initial height. It is derived from the kinematic equations and depends on the initial vertical velocity (Voy) and acceleration due to gravity (g).
Voy (Initial vertical velocity): The initial upward speed given to a projectile when launched.
g (Acceleration due to gravity): The rate at which objects accelerate towards Earth's surface under the influence of gravity.
Trajectory: The path followed by a projectile or object in motion through space.
