Hi, we can determine the velocity to hit x and y point with angle of projection given. but can we do the same if the initial height of projection is given?
K^2 said:As long as you can ignore the drag, any problem of aiming a projectile can be reduced to a set of quadratic equations, so you can always find whatever missing information that you need.
K^2 said:Well, of course. You might as well point out that if you don't know anything about the problem, you don't know anything about the problem.
K^2 said:The fact that the expression might have unknowns in it seemed obvious enough to not require further clarification.
A projectile is an object that is launched into the air and moves along a curved path due to the force of gravity.
The initial height of a projectile can be calculated by measuring the vertical distance between the launch point and the ground.
The formula for calculating the horizontal distance of a projectile is d = v0t, where d is the distance, v0 is the initial velocity, and t is the time.
Air resistance can slow down a projectile and cause it to deviate from its expected trajectory. This is why projectiles launched at the same angle and with the same initial velocity may not land at the same point.
The maximum height a projectile can reach is equal to the initial height. This occurs when the projectile has reached its peak and is about to start falling back down.
