For a physichs project I had to build a trebuchet. I measured how for it shot, and how long it took. After some calculations I got:
Vi in the X= 6.258
VI in the y= 6.64
Accel in X= 0
Accel in Y= -9.8
Distance in the X= 4.8
Distance in the Y= 2.25
Time in the X= 1.36
Time In the Y= .68
Now after that I am supposed to pick different points on the arc and measure the Velocity in the Y and X. Im not sure what distance to use? For instance if I wanted to measure the velocity at .1 seconds in the arc on the X and Y, what would I use?
