v = d/t, you've got it the wrong way around.
And no, x = 0. But initial velocity is zero.
And no, x = 0. But initial velocity is zero.
The discussion focuses on solving two-dimensional motion problems involving projectile motion. The first problem involves a baseball thrown at an initial speed of 17.0 m/s at a 35.0° angle, where participants clarify how to calculate the horizontal component of velocity using trigonometric functions. The second problem addresses a swimmer's horizontal jump from a diving board, requiring the calculation of time and vertical displacement using kinematic equations. Key formulas discussed include Vx = V * cos(θ) for horizontal velocity and the use of x = x0 + v0t + 0.5at² for vertical displacement.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, educators teaching projectile motion concepts, and anyone interested in understanding the mechanics of two-dimensional motion.
JoshMP said:"so would the final velocity be 3.60 m/s"
That was the question I was answering earlier when I said to use trig. You need to know the y-component to calculate the final velocity. I was not talking about finding t.
JoshMP said:^ You need the final velocity to use that equation. Find the time to reach horizontal displacement, then use that time to find the vertical displacement.
hurtingBrain said:than what is the time and Voy
i know that a = -9.8
physicsface said:the sine helps you solve for the vertical component.
