How do I get a formula that finds the initial velocity with height in it?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving a formula to calculate the initial velocity (v_0) of an object on an inclined plane, specifically in the context of a collision between two steel balls. The equation provided is a(x - x_0) = (1/2)(v^2 - v_0^2), which needs to be manipulated to solve for v_0. Additionally, the angle of the inclined plane is a critical factor that must be considered for accurate calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of kinematic equations in physics
  • Familiarity with the concepts of inclined planes and projectile motion
  • Basic algebra for solving equations
  • Knowledge of collision dynamics between objects
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of kinematic equations for inclined planes
  • Learn about the conservation of momentum in collision scenarios
  • Explore the effects of angle on projectile motion
  • Investigate advanced topics in dynamics, such as energy conservation during collisions
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and anyone involved in mechanics or engineering who seeks to understand the dynamics of motion on inclined planes and collision analysis.

How do I get a formula that finds the initial velocity with height in it??
i was doing a inclined plane problem with is deal with 2 steel balls' collision~
could somebody help me to derivate that formula?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
a(x-x_0)=\frac{1}{2}(v^2-v_0^2)

Solve for v_0
 
ya and what is the angle of the inclined place..
 
I am not sure if you had supplied all given data, and of course, your attempt. :P
