The problem involves a projectile launched under different conditions, including horizontal, vertical, and angled displacements. The original poster seeks to determine the initial velocity of the projectile without a time variable being provided.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants questioning the clarity of the problem statement and the assumptions that need to be made. Some guidance has been offered regarding the need for a clearer problem setup and the importance of identifying what is being asked.
There are concerns about the wording of the problem, particularly regarding the use of "average" in relation to angle and displacement. Participants note that the lack of explicit definitions may hinder understanding and problem-solving efforts.
The problem does not seem to be comprehensible. what is the meaning of "average" angle with what? One has to make some assumptions but then it means the problem is not worded properly or after reading the problem OP is writing the problem in his personal script.dritt said:Homework Statement
A projectile is launched:
Horizontally, with an average displacement of 49 cm
Vertically, with an average displacement of 28 cm
At a 23 degree angle, with average displacement of 126 cm

I am sad to say I don't know how to do it. Walk me through?
The title indicates it is the launch velocity.kuruman said:a statement of what you are asked to find
In all three it refers to "average displacement" and states a distance, but it baffles me what this means.Let'sthink said:what is the meaning of "average" angle
