Finding angle and altitude using distance and time?

AI Thread Summary
To find angle and altitude using distance and time, kinematic equations are essential. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity regarding the specific distance and time values provided. The relevant equations include d = v_0 sin(θ) t and 0 = (-g/2)t² + v_0 cos(θ)t, which can be used to solve for initial velocity (v_0) and angle (θ). Gravity is assumed to be 9.8 m/s² in these calculations. Understanding the context of the problem is crucial for applying the correct equations effectively.

Homework Statement


I need an equation for a physics project, and I'm not sure which to use. I am given the distance and time variables, however I don't have the angle or altitude they are looking for. Which equation do I need to use?

Homework Equations


Velocity related equations? fab five physics equations probably, I'm not sure.

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm thinking that I need to use gravity as 9.8, but don't know what the equation would be?? Thanks to those who help :P :P :P

That's not very clear! What "distance and time" do you mean? The distance and time at which the projective again returns to earth?
Then the equations you use are d= v_0sin(\theta) t and 0= (-g/2)t^2+ v_0 cos(\theta)t. That gives you two equations to solve for v_0 amd \theta.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
