    How Do You Calculate the Initial Velocity in Horizontal Projectile Motion?

    Well, what's throwing me off is that theta=0 degrees @ T=0 So, when I plug in that value into the range equation it's spitting back 8(-9.8m/s^2)= (Vr)^2 x sine(2*0). This is obviously giving me the wrong answer since 8 is not equal to zero. I'll print out the instruction sheet for the...

    How Do You Calculate the Initial Velocity in Horizontal Projectile Motion?

    Well, this is my first of most likely many posts. Here goes the homework problem: An Engineering student wants to throw a ball out of a third story window (10 m off the ground) onto a target on the ground placed 8.0m away from the building. (a) If the student throws the ball horizontally...
