    Projectile motion off a raised surface

    Solved. Unless another force acting upon it (ie rocket booster) acceleration along the x component will be 0 regardless of angle. The only force acting upon it will be gravity which only affects the y component.

    Projectile motion off a raised surface

    still not quite grasping concept it is a standard coordinate system. constant velocity (6.98 m/s) with 0 acceleration (in the x direction) when shooting straight. When shooting up 27 degrees would that cause a change in acceleration (from a=0 shooting straight) to appear in the x component...

    Projectile motion off a raised surface

    [b]1. Easy solution that I'm pretty sure I talked myself out of. Using a spring loaded shooter, first shoot it off a table and calculate data and then move to another table of a different height and shoot with an incline into a sandbox. Must hit within 10cm of line drawn in the sand. known...
