Homework Statement
I need to know how the equation Dx= Vx[itex]\sqrt{}2(Dy)[/itex]/a is valid.
Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is launched into the air and moves under the influence of gravity. It follows a curved path known as a parabola.
To derive the formulas for projectile motion, you can use the equations of motion and the principles of kinematics. You will need to consider the initial velocity, acceleration due to gravity, and the time and displacement of the object.
The formula for the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile is d = v0 * t, where v0 is the initial velocity and t is the time of flight.
The maximum height of a projectile can be calculated using the formula h = v0^2 * sin^2θ / 2g, where v0 is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Yes, the formulas for projectile motion can be used for any object as long as it follows the laws of kinematics and is affected by gravity. However, air resistance and other external factors may slightly alter the path of the object.
