What do these equations do?

  • Thread starter Carl_M
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses various kinematic equations, including displacement in the x direction, the maximum height of the graph, and the time at which the object reaches its maximum height and hits the ground. These equations involve variables such as initial velocity (Vo), acceleration due to gravity (g), and angle (a). The conversation also mentions the relationship between displacement and time, as well as the concept of maximum height.

Y(t) = VoyT - (gt² / 2 )

H = (1/2g) Vo² Sin²a

( 1/2g ) Vo²Sin2a = 0

X = 2(Vo²Sin a cos a) / g

Vy(t) = Voy - gt

0 = Voy - gt

t = Voy / g

t = VoSin a / g

whatever you want them to i suppose

X = 2(Vo²Sin a cos a) / g Is this for the entire graph for displacement in X?

H = (1/2g) Vo² Sin²a Is this for the height of the maximum height for the graph?

( 1/2g ) Vo²Sin2a = 0 Does this find the maximum height for the graph?

t = VoSin a / g Is this for Time at V = 0? or max height?

t = 2VoSin a / g Is this the time for when the object hits the ground?

1. What is the purpose of these equations?

The purpose of these equations is to describe and predict the relationship between different variables in a specific system or phenomenon. They help us understand the underlying principles and laws governing natural phenomena and can be used to make predictions and solve problems.

2. How are these equations used in scientific research?

These equations are used in scientific research to develop mathematical models and theories that can be tested and validated through experiments and observations. They also serve as a tool for analyzing and interpreting data, making predictions, and designing experiments.

3. Are these equations universally applicable?

No, these equations are not universally applicable. They are specific to the system or phenomenon they were developed for and may not accurately describe other systems or phenomena. However, they can be modified or generalized to apply to similar situations.

4. Can these equations be simplified or made more accurate?

Yes, these equations can be simplified or made more accurate through various methods such as using more precise measurements, including more variables, or using more complex mathematical techniques. However, simplification and accuracy may come at the cost of complexity and practicality.

5. How are these equations related to scientific laws and principles?

These equations are related to scientific laws and principles in that they are derived from them and provide a quantitative expression of these laws and principles. They also serve as a means to test and validate these laws and principles through experimentation and observation.
