i never even considered that, thanks for explaining

thanks, i thought that if retardation from drag was ignored, if an object was launched with a initial velocity, constant x velocity, and accelerating y velocity (gravity) it would follow the shape of a parabola.

Imagine separating a parabola into its different x and y components and linking them by the component of time. Scenario: Given: Gravity No Drag The velocity of the launched object is not sufficient to escape the gravitational pull. Ignoring: The change of gravity as the distance...

thanks,

Hi Metallic, thank you for your interest in this thread, Would it be Possible to find the angle of thrust using the derivative of my proposed equation ? it is possible to determine the original equation by substituting enough infinitesimally close points?

using all the ideas i had and using your own knowledge could anyone solve the following question showing how they did it? in a 2 dimensional model (x,y) a rocket is launched on a flat plain, at a angle of 45 degrees with the ground, there is no change in air pressure as it rises the...

i have done some research and figured that the equation of a parabola can be calculated with 3 points on the parabola, however i only have one point and the x and y forces. anyway i have made an excel which with three points you can calculate the equation of a parabola, it is attached this is...

sorry guys f(x)=tanθ(x) ^ 1- gravitational constant/ acceleration of rocket

if the equation is right: f(x)=tanθ(x) ^ gravitational constant/ acceleration of rocket. this equation does not factor wind resistance. how could this be added ? Given this equation how can one work out the parabola that if formed from the decent when the rocket is no longer firing, if i have...

Hi Metallic, Due to the rockets center of gravity not being where the thrust is being produced, gravity will affect the direction that the rocket is travelling, however as the rocket becomes faster and faster, the change in direction per distance is lessening, so therefore i deduced that the...

The rocket flight is illustrated using MathGV. Come one Can anyone answer ?

The Basis of this question is that: * Rockets launched at an angle follow the path of a rectangular hyperbola when thrust greater than their mass is produced. * That rockets fall in the path of a parabola when thrust is no longer produced, this only applies when the rocket has both x and y...
