    Initial speed for projectile at 3 degrees with 12.6m range and 0.33m height

    My problem is that we have to draw out 5 - 6 graphs for each of these lines for position vs time, accel vs time, and velocity vs time, of both Y and X directions. Then they are just ranomly calling tings points like T,V(T) or V(V(x)) i don't get how the heck they are going and just grabbing...

    Initial speed for projectile at 3 degrees with 12.6m range and 0.33m height

    A tennis player standing 12.6 m from the net hits the ball at 3° above the horizontal. To clear the net the ball must rise at least .330m. If the ball just clears the net at the apex of its trajectory, how fast was the ball moving when it left the racket? ok so 12.6m = x and not Vox, and .33m...

    Initial speed for projectile at 3 degrees with 12.6m range and 0.33m height

    ok I will write one of many problems which has me confused as heck. teacher is tryin to show me how to solve them but i have no idea what he is even doing, he is drawing 6 - 9 different x and y graphs for Vy,Vx, X, Y, and Ax, Ay and from there he does not even know anything about the problem he...

    Initial speed for projectile at 3 degrees with 12.6m range and 0.33m height

    Homework Statement I need to be able to get a equation to figure out the initial speed as an object leaves the origin, and I don't understand what exactly I am suppose to treat these as? Basically they are showing us vectors, Vo being velocity vector, and Vox and Voy being x and y components...
