    Power Question: Power Calculation for Particle Moving in Circular Path

    ohk , I got the answer. Here is how i got it : Let us assume that the particle moves a quarter. so its displacement will be 21/2r. Now since the force acts in the direction towards centre. so taking the component of displacement along force : 21/2rcos45. now using the same formula...

    Proving 45 degrees is optimal value for greatest horizontal range

    You should always solve the projectile problem like this : Let it be projected at angle 'x' with horizontal. Then at instantaneous time 't'. Let initial velocity be 'a'. :- Along X- Direction u=acosx a=0 v=acosx s=acosxt Along Y- Direction u=asinx a= -g v=asinx-gt...

    Power Question: Power Calculation for Particle Moving in Circular Path

    Force is centripetal so i think it is acting towards centre. And it is moving in circular track. Do i have to take the component of force acting along displacement.
