    Hard time with trigonomic functions.

    the length of the side opposite side from the angle divided by the length of the side of the longest side (the hypotenuse) is the sine of the angle in a right angle. Try that and verify it is correct.

    How do i compute distance if shot at 45degrees

    if horizontal flight time is t=2xVxcos(45)/a distance horizontally is txVxcos(45) combining them is 2xv^2*cos^2(45)/a and for 100fps initial velocity on level ground, this means a distance of 312.5 feet Note that (from above) v^2sin(2x45)/g also works and gives 312,5 ft If this correct, thanks...

    How do i compute distance if shot at 45degrees

    Sure t=2Vy/a - thus 2x70.7/32=4.41875 secs which then gives 312ft for horizontal distance from 4.41875x70.7. This all from a muzzle velocity of 100 fps aimed at a 42degree angle is that correct?

    How do i compute distance if shot at 45degrees

    Shoudn't x=(2*v^2*t*cos45^2) and thus x=t*v^2/g instead of v^2/g Just curious...

    How do i compute distance if shot at 45degrees

    so for muzzle velocity Vm, I solve for t as indicated and get Vm/16=t. Then multiply that t by VmxCos(45) or Vm x.707; so it seems I simply multiply muzzle velocity by .707 to get the distance for any muzzle velocity. Is it that simple?

    How do i compute distance if shot at 45degrees

    If I shoot a ball out of a cannon with muzzle velocity of 100 fps at 45 degree angle, how do I compute how far I shoot it? Ignore air resistance for this.

    If I jump from height of 5ft to ground -what is g-force of impact

    with the help of many and if I assume I jump down from 2ft and come to a stop from final velocity to 0 over the course of 0.1 second: given D=1/2at^2 by solving for t: t=(2d/a)^0.5 and given Vf=at (final velocity just before impact) given that my G factor is given by: (Vf/0.1)/a by...

    If I jump from height of 5ft to ground -what is g-force of impact

    Assume I have shoes on and jump down onto concrete, how do you compute the g-force. Assume I weight 70kg if that matters. G(accelerationDueToGravity)=9.8m/sec; I think it should be a simple equation, i.e. you start at v=0 and then hit v=final which is when you hit the concrete. So...

    If I jump from height of 5ft to ground -what is g-force of impact

    I jump off a high bench (5ft high) to the ground. What is the g-force of the impact and how do you calculate it. It seems mass is irrelevant for this Joe
