    Projectile Motion Equation Problem

    Thanks both, andrevdh, I can see that you can find t in terms of ux as follows: S=(u+v/2)t 10=(2*ux/2)t 10=uxt and rearranged to give you: ux=10/t I've given it another go, and come up with the following: Using: S=ut+0.5at2 I've substituted the values back in, and got: -3.64 = uSin40 *...

    Projectile Motion Equation Problem

    This is what I thought, without U, V or t is this problem possible? (Without using some sort of differential equation... ?)

    Projectile Motion Equation Problem

    My bad, below are my workings:First step to find the height at point A: 10*Tan(20) = 3.639 I attempted to consider the vertical component only to derive some more information: I used the only kinematic equation that isn't time dependent: (V2=U2+2as) I took a= -9.8 and the displacement to be...

    Projectile Motion Equation Problem

    Hi Everyone, I hope someone can help me, I am attempting this projectile problem, but I keep coming unstuck. Could anyone point my in the right direction? I have attempted to break down the initial velocity into its component forces etc, but as I do not know the initial velocity, final...

    How Does a Mechanical Draftsman Contribute to Piping Design?

    Hi Everyone, I just registered, so thought I should take the time to introduce myself. My names James, I am currently an undergrad studying Natural Sciences through the Open University. My interests are in Physics and Chemistry. I am currently working as a Mechanical Draftsman in a piping...
