    How Do You Calculate Projectile Motion from a Cliff?

    I think they're different component of x and y and thus you can't use them without linking time

    Briliant Vissh. Answer seems consistent with fellow class mates. You're an absolute legend

    How Do You Calculate Projectile Motion from a Cliff?

    Nah I think there was a mistake. Can Someone confirm with me that t=~1.903

    How Do You Calculate Projectile Motion from a Cliff?

    I got t= 3.18 Is that right. Maybe I screwed up somewhere along the line. I'll double check in the morning as I am in Australia and it's getting late

    How Do You Calculate Projectile Motion from a Cliff?

    So is the time not 3.2 since I assumed Uy was 10m/s? Wouldn't I need to know U to be able to find Uy then. And Ux would be range over time. But how would you find time without finding Uy Could you make Vy=0 and use the equation Vy^2 = Uy^2 + 2a (delta) Y

    How Do You Calculate Projectile Motion from a Cliff?

    Where would range play a part in the question? Doesn't range (delta)x only matter on horizontal motion? I mean if you can find time the you can find Ux but I didn't know you needed to use it to find time

    Determining Mass from Orbital Period and Radius

    You can also use orbital velocity and work it out from there.

    Determining Mass from Orbital Period and Radius

    Use Keplers law of period and the mass turns out to be 2.207610x1030

    Finding Time in Projectile Motion

    It's not that i Don't like it, I was just curious to an extent. But when you rearrange it, why is it the one with t^2 the one that's represented as 'a' and the one with 't' alone represented as b in the equation for the quadratic formula. I know it is but why. I know nothing about maths or physics.

    Finding Time in Projectile Motion

    Ohh early start I would gather. Anyways, is the quadratic formula the only way it can be done?

    Finding Time in Projectile Motion

    Would I have to use the quadratic formula to solve it?
