Need derivation of projectile motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the derivation of projectile motion equations, emphasizing the constant downward acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s²) and zero horizontal acceleration. The integration of motion equations leads to the vertical position equation z = z₀ + v₀t - ½gt² and the horizontal position equation x = x₀ + v₀t. The initial angle of projection influences the ratio of horizontal and vertical speeds, which is crucial for solving projectile motion problems. Additionally, determining the landing position involves calculating the time of flight using vertical motion equations and applying that time in horizontal motion equations. Understanding these principles is essential for accurately analyzing projectile motion scenarios.

A projectile has constant acceleration downwards of g (roughly equal to 9.81m/s^2). And it has zero acceleration horizontally.

Since the acceleration is completely specified, we can use integration to find the laws of motion. Using z=upward and x being horizontal:

\ddot{z}=-g and \ddot{x}=0. Now using integration on both equations individually:
\dot{z} = \dot{z_0} -g(t - t_0) and \dot{x} = \dot{x_0} (where the subscript zero are constants - i.e. boundary conditions). So now we integrate the equations again to get:
z = z_0 + \dot{z_0}t -\frac{1}{2}g(t - t_0)^2 and x = x_0 +\dot{x_0}t

These are all the laws of motion necessary. If you get a question that tells you the initial angle an object is fired at, then that gives you the ratio of the horizontal and vertical initial speeds. And if you get a question asking where an object ends up landing, then often you can solve for the vertical motion to get the time, and then use the time in the horizontal motion equation to get where it ends up landing.
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
