Programming the TI-83+ SE for Projectile Motion

Click For Summary
To program the TI-83+ SE for projectile motion, the user has a formula for the projectile's path without air resistance. They seek guidance on graphing the resulting parabola and solving for undefined variables. Suggestions include consulting the calculator's manual and collaborating with classmates for support. The importance of hands-on experimentation in learning programming is emphasized. Engaging with resources and peers can enhance understanding and problem-solving skills.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this:

I have a TI-83+ SE. I have gotten the formula for the path of a projectile without air-resistance. It is:

y= ((Voy)/(Vox))X)-(g/(2(Vox^2)X^2)))

Now, I have a question. How do I program it to make it graph the parabola that I am supposed to get, and how can I get it to find me undefined variables (I have a basic grasp of programming, though this is beyond my league).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Or maybe a link to a website that has these?
 
Honey, I think your problem is that most of us who use graphing calculators don't use TI. I use the HP-48 series, personally.

It's probably not much help, but I'd suggest that you (a) consult the manual and (b) talk to your classmates. Generally speaking, the best way to learn to program something is to try things out. You fail a lot, but even your failures teach you something, and you'll remember it longer and better.
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
