What equations should I know about Classical Physics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the equations necessary to solve a physics problem involving two objects thrown from an inclined surface. The first object is thrown parallel to the surface at speed v1, while the second is thrown horizontally at speed v2. To determine the distance between their launch point and the point of collision, the SUVAT equations are essential, particularly when neglecting air resistance. The gravitational acceleration is denoted as g, and understanding the motion of both objects requires a clear grasp of these equations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of SUVAT equations in classical mechanics
  • Knowledge of projectile motion concepts
  • Familiarity with gravitational acceleration (g)
  • Ability to interpret motion diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation and application of the SUVAT equations
  • Learn about projectile motion and its components
  • Explore the effects of gravitational acceleration on motion
  • Investigate motion diagrams and their role in physics problems
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching classical mechanics, and anyone interested in solving problems related to projectile motion and gravitational effects.

Two object are thrown at the same time from a surface which has an angle of θ. The first pbject is thrown parallel with the surface, with the speed v1. The second object is thrown horizontally with the speed of v2. The objects hit each other at a certain point. What is the distance between the point they were thrown and hit each other? (The gravitational acceleration is g)

The question is translated. It may not be clear ask anything you didn't understand verbally.

The thing I want to know is, what equations should I know to solve this by myself?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If you can ignore air resistance then the SUVAT equations here should be all you need..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

Is there a diagram to go with the question?

If you throw an object "from a surface" but also "paralel with the surface" it seems it must remain in contact with the surface. So it follows a straight line.
 
Yes, the first object keeps the contact with the ground
