The discussion revolves around calculating various parameters related to projectile motion, specifically focusing on horizontal velocity, initial vertical speed, angular launch speed, launch angle, and maximum height for an object projected a distance of 24.5 meters with a mass of 7.3 grams.
Some participants have pointed out potential misunderstandings regarding the relevance of mass and the variables involved in the equation. There is an ongoing exploration of assumptions, particularly regarding the effects of drag and the necessity of certain parameters.
Participants are operating under the assumption that drag is being ignored, which influences the discussion about the relevance of mass in the calculations.
Your solution is incorrect. What do the symbols in the equation v=d/t represent?H3lpPlz said:Homework Statement

V=d/t V=24.5/7.3 V=15.031
If we are ignoring drag (which I am assuming that we are), then you are indeed correct. The mass of the object is superfluous in this case.michalll said:Pardon me if I am wrong but knowing mass in this case is useless or is it time?
