Deriving the Equation for Projectile Motion: t = 2(vi)/g*sin(theta)
Alright, I'm going to update this for you since apparently there is a lot of confusion. g is that gravitational constant of acceleration. V(i) is the initial velocity, as stated above. The context is a launch simulation, and the problem asks for a derivation. The lack of parentheses does say...- Paradise Jack

Deriving the Equation for Projectile Motion: t = 2(vi)/g*sin(theta)
1. Derive this equation t = 2(vi)/g*sin(theta) where vi isinitial velocity, and g is acceleration due to gravity 2. Implicit differentiation, possibly gravity as a constant.The Attempt at a Solution t = 2(vi)/v*sin(theta) dt/d(theta) = 2(vi)/g * dt/d(theta)(sin(theta)) dt/d(theta) = 2(vi)/g *...- Paradise Jack
