Find velocity & angle to fire cannonball through *Two* points
So I've worked out the following but you may have an easier or simpler way of doing this BvU? Thanks very much for your help so far by the way. After finding the form of the parabola; I was able to use the following equations to rearrange a, b and c to work out the x and y positions of the...- TimTimTim

Find velocity & angle to fire cannonball through *Two* points
Well I really didn't know where to go with this. By the way I have very little maths knowledge and may well be jumping in at the deep end with this problem. So that being said, I'm not sure if this is what you were thinking of next but I've worked out the following. y = Ax ( 100-x ) y =...- TimTimTim

Find velocity & angle to fire cannonball through *Two* points
Thanks, it's nice to be here! Hmm, it was a while since I looked at my working solution and I thought I'd solved the initial x and y velocity required for when the wall is in the middle of the arc at a certain height but instead I have solved it for when the wall height is actually unknown and...- TimTimTim

Find velocity & angle to fire cannonball through *Two* points
At first this sounds like a very popular and often asked/solved question but it has a twist - I need help with the twist please. 1. Homework Statement A cannon is at Point A in a 3d environment. There is a wall at Point B which sits between the cannon and a castle, at Point C. Write a...- TimTimTim
