Initial Initial velocity Theoretical Velocity

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the theoretical initial velocity for a projectile, the key parameters include the target distance of 25.6 meters, an initial velocity of 16 m/s, and a time of 2.6 seconds. The range of the projectile is noted as 26.7 meters, assuming no air resistance. The discussion suggests that the problem resembles a typical homework question in physics. Participants are encouraged to provide assistance using relevant equations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying physics principles for accurate calculations.

I can do with just an equation, but if anyone is willing to help:
Target is 25.6 m away from canon
Initial Velocity = 16 m/s
Time = 2.6 s
Range = 26.7m
No air resistance

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

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...
