okay so i have a water balloon launcher, it starts off at 0.51410733857,0.404340993843 and at the end of the launch its at 1.2249085093,1.03940105622, this is in meters btw.. What i need to do is find the angle or degree it launch's at. Do i X2-X1/Y2-Y1 it? I don't know that would just give me...

Well i thought A for some reason was the 55.81 and B was the 52.62 from the two quadratic formulas, but i think that isn't right... Hmm hold on ill let me take a look at what I am doing

Homework Statement I have to find the degree at which I am launching a water balloon and i have 2 quadratic formulas for the X and Y values versus time. The X and Y quadratic formulas for it was, X: 55.81t^2+(-2.197t)+0.5222 Y:52.62t^2+(-2.358t)+.4135 Homework Equations Is A the length...

I found the formula i want to use to figure out my Position but i don't know what to put for Acceleration and Velocity.

Basically what me and my group (they arnt helping me) had to make some sort of water balloon launcher to hit our teacher 20m - 30m away, launching at 45 degrees. We chose a Slingshot type of one, that's pretty ghetto but works. Our launcher is 41 inchs high (1.04m) and what he wants us to do is...

One equation i saw was X(final)=X(initial)+V(initial i think)X t + 1/2 X a x t^2

Homework Statement What is the acceleration,position,and velocity formula for the launch of a slingshot. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I just don't know where to start tbh... I really need help i put this off and its due tomorrow... If someone could respond i can...
