Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a projectile motion problem involving an object fired at a 20-degree angle with a specified horizontal velocity of 30 m/s. Participants are exploring various aspects of the motion, including vertical displacement, time of flight, horizontal displacement, and the initial velocity of the object.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the need for relevant equations related to projectile motion and free-falling bodies. There are inquiries about showing work and understanding the relationship between the given parameters and the equations of motion.

Discussion Status

The conversation includes attempts to clarify the problem and explore the necessary equations. Some participants have offered guidance on using trigonometry to find the initial velocity based on the given angle and horizontal velocity. There is a mix of uncertainty and progress as participants engage with the concepts.

Contextual Notes

One participant expresses urgency due to an upcoming test, indicating a time constraint that may affect their ability to engage with the material fully. There is also mention of needing to show work, suggesting a focus on understanding the process rather than just obtaining answers.

if an object is fired at a 20 degree angle and has a horizontal velocity of 30m/s, what is the vertical displacement, how long the ball is in the air, horizontal displacement, original velocity of the ball?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
help?
 
You need to show some work. Do you have any relevation equations for projectile motion?
 
basic motion - free falling body. range is straight line

OK, so what are the applicable equations for basic motion - free falling body and how does that relate to the problem statement?
 
if u help me find the initial velocity or time i could find the the problems myself
 
The easiest part is the initial velocity. You are given an angle and the horizontal component of the velocity. Draw a triangle and use some trig.
 
okay i can't do t the trig and i have a test tommorow please show me how to do it
 
never mind i got it. thanks for reminding me about the trig
