Can someone post a decent formula? I can't seem to find something that I can understand.
save00us said:I just need the formulas..i only have notes on formulas like Vx = x/t, x = vt, y = Vgt + 1/2gt^2, v = voy + gt, vy^2 = voy + 2gy. I wasn't able to copy my teachers notes on the other formulas due to my nearsightedness and her handwriting was so small I can barely see it.
The initial velocity for a projectile can be calculated by dividing the horizontal distance traveled by the time it takes for the projectile to travel that distance.
The formula for calculating the maximum height of a projectile is h = (v2sin2θ)/2g, where h is the maximum height, v is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Air resistance, also known as drag, can decrease the speed and distance of a projectile, resulting in a shorter and lower trajectory. This is because air resistance acts as a force that opposes the motion of the projectile.
No, the formula for projectile motion assumes that the mass of the object remains constant throughout the trajectory. For objects with non-uniform mass, the formula must be modified to take into account the changing mass.
The formula for projectile motion can be applied in various real-world situations, such as calculating the trajectory of a baseball or golf ball, predicting the landing point of a rocket, or determining the range of a projectile fired from a weapon.
