    Calculate Horiz. Dist. of 2D Object at Angle w/ V0 & y

    Is there an equation that gives the horizontal distance traveled of an object projected at an angle (theta) with an initial velocity (V0) and given that the object lands (y) above/below where it was launched? Thanks

The only thing that I can think of is helping the brain to absorb more information and retain it. But that does not instantly make you smarter, only new information that you...

    Simple reflection thought experiment

    I am going to start out with a simple thought experiment: A particle is moving towards a wall at a 90 degree angle. The wall is perfectly smooth; therefore, when the particle bounces off, it will be traveling along the same path as it did when it came in. Does the ball ever come to a...
