I make trebuchet for my physics project and i need to calculate the distance it fires and compare it to my acctual firing.
I know how to use the non vertical equations for circular motion but i don't know which equation to use for this.
I can calculate the projectile motion after i have the velocity.
Mass = 2.5kg
CounterWeight Arm length = 16cm (ie. radius)
Circumpherence it travels = 1/3 of circle.
The counterweight arm only swings 1/3 of circles circumpherence.
All i need to know is the equation because i can use the non vertical motion equation but then i would have to guess the time it takes.
And i want to calculate the time not guess .))))
