Use the http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/traj.html#tra4".Sundaze said:How can one go about calculating the initial velocity of an object needed to travel a certain distance, starting from atop a given height.
Variables known: height, angle, distance traveled, acceleration of gravity, mass of object
Not known: initial and final velocity, time
Sundaze said:These do not work since the launch point is not at the same level as the landing. And time is unknoen.
If you scroll down on the link I gave you, you will see how to analyse the problem.Sundaze said:These do not work since the launch point is not at the same level as the landing. And time is unknoen.
rl.bhat said:The range x = v*cosθ*t.
So t = x/v*cosθ
-y = v*sinθ*t - 0.5*g*t^2
-y = v*sinθ*x/v*cosθ - 0.5*g*(x/v*cosθ)^2
-y = x*tanθ - 0.5*g*x^2/v^2*cos^2(θ)
Now simplify and solve for v.
Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is launched or thrown into the air and moves along a curved path under the influence of gravity.
The factors that affect projectile motion include the initial velocity, angle of launch, air resistance, and the force of gravity.
The trajectory of a projectile can be calculated using the equations of motion, which take into account the initial velocity, angle of launch, and acceleration due to gravity.
In projectile motion, horizontal motion is constant and unaffected by gravity, while vertical motion is affected by gravity and follows a parabolic path.
Projectile motion has many applications in real life, including sports such as basketball, baseball, and golf, as well as in engineering and military operations, such as launching projectiles from cannons or missiles.
