Finding intial velocity given vertical and horizontal displacement

AI Thread Summary
To find the initial velocity given horizontal and vertical displacements, key equations include the kinematic equations for projectile motion. The horizontal displacement remains constant, while the vertical displacement is influenced by gravity. It's important to resolve the initial velocity into its horizontal and vertical components based on the launch angle. The discussion also raises questions about the units for displacements and the specific kinematic equations needed for calculations. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

what is the initial velocity when:
Horizontal displacement= 1.51
Vertical displacement= -.273
angle launched= 36

could someone at least tell me the equations i need to use, because i am totally lost

Is there any units for the displacements.
Do you know, how to resolve the velocity into vertical and horizontal components?
Out of this, which component remains constant?
What are the kinematic equations?

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}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
