Homework Help Overview

The original poster seeks to determine the speed required to move an object from point A to point B, given the distance between the points, the gravitational acceleration, and the height angle. The context involves a 3D model where the coordinates of the points are specified, and the movement is described as a parabolic trajectory.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about the relationship between points A and B, questioning whether the distance is horizontal or along a slope. They also ask about the nature of the launch (airborne or ramp) and any resistive forces that might affect the motion. The original poster clarifies the coordinates of the points and confirms that they are at the same height, while also expressing uncertainty about the template requirements.

Discussion Status

The discussion has raised several important questions regarding the setup of the problem, including the need for relevant equations and theories. However, the original poster has not yet provided a complete problem statement or shown attempts at applying any equations, leading to a request for a more structured approach in a new thread.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the absence of resistive forces and the need for clarity on the coordinates and their implications for the problem. The original poster's lack of familiarity with the forum's template requirements is also acknowledged.

Hi there, so I want to know how to get the speed I need to move some object from point A to B, accordint to the distance between points, gravity and height angle.
I means, I have this:
height angle = 40.0
distance from point A to B = 5m
gravity = -9.81
speed = ?

I think that I just need to know the first 3 datas to get the formula.
Sorry if I explained bad, let me know and I'll try to explain this better.
Kind regards.

Where is A in relation to B? 5m horizontally on the same level? 5m straight up the slope at 40 degrees?
Is the object being shot through the air or up a ramp? Any resistive forces, like friction?
What equations can you quote that might be useful here?
(You should complete the template, not delete it.)

Sorry, I'm new here.

Point A is anywhere in the X, Y axis, same for point B.
I'm working in a 3D model, so I think Z ground is a factor here. I'm not using resistive forces btw.

Let me explain it better:
I have a ball in the next coords: 50.0, 25.0, 3.0 (point A)
And I want to "launch" it (simulate a parabolic movement) to the next coord: 50.0, 30.0, 3.0 (point B).
There's a distance of 5m between those points.
With the next values: gravity = 9.81, height angle = 40.0, I want to know how many velocity I need so ball can fall over point B.

Sorry for delete template, really don't know what I had to do there lol

Ok, so they are at the same height.

You need state any equations, theory, or conservation laws that you think might be relevant, and show some attempt at using these to solve the problem, or at least some thoughts on the matter.

The sections are pretty much self-explanatory, with complete problem statement in first section, relevant equations in the second section, and your attempts in the third section. The homework template is required.

Points A and B are in the x-y plane.
