    Angle Velocity
AI Thread Summary
Velocity and angle in projectile motion are interconnected, as the angle affects the trajectory and range of the projectile. To plot velocity versus angle, one must consider how the horizontal component of velocity is calculated using the cosine of the angle. The range of the projectile is influenced by both the initial velocity and the launch angle, creating a relationship that can be graphed. Understanding these components is essential for analyzing projectile motion effectively. This knowledge is crucial for physics students studying the dynamics of motion.

can you help me relate velocity and angle in a graph? please, how are they related?
how is it possible to plot velocity vs angle given that at every (v,theta) a corresponding range is set?

im sorry. i hope you understood.
im from japan. i have physics class.

Just find the component of velocity in the x direction using the cosine of the velocity vector and the time down range.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
