I need a formula which will calculate the initial velocity of the projectile (m/s), the range of the projectile (meters) and the maximum height the projectile will reach (meters) using the Mass of the Projectile and Counterweight (kg), the height from which the counterweight is dropped (meters)...
Homework Statement
Example:
2 kg projectile
2 kg Counterweight
Dropped from 1m
45 Degree Angle
9.8 m/s Gravitational Acceleration
(For a catapult)
Homework Equations
My science teacher's equation was blatantly wrong in a number of ways, so I no longer have it.
