    Start every projectile motion problem with the Displacement Equation (DE) and the Velocity Equation (VE) for both horizontal and vertical directions. Next modify the equations to reflect your known values - creating a toolbox! Then solve for your unknown quantity. Good luck!

    Combing textbooks and the internet for an equation specific to your situation is usually a frustratingly fruitless endeavor. Instead, start every projectile motion problem with the Displacement Equation (DE) and the Velocity Equation (VE) for both horizontal and vertical directions. Next modify the equations to reflect your known values - creating a toolbox! Only then will you have the right equations you need to solve your problem.

      To find Yo without having time though, don't you need another equation, V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a(X-Xo)? I think that would be Voy^2 + 2a(Yo) = 0 simplified with your variables

    For peak height, there's an equation I find easier to use in this case: 2ad = V^2 - Vo^2. And it become even easier because V = 0m/s when finding peak height. a = -9.8m/s, d = the peak height. Hope this helps :)

      I was also stumped on this for a while. He adds the S to the left side of the equation because it is a problem where the projectile is launched from a ledge. Therefore we need to add the height of the ledge to the vertical displacement.

    I had trouble with the quadratic because my TI84 Plus Silver requires parenthesis before the square. So (30sin(20))^2.
    so...
    (30*sin(20) - sqrt(30sin(20))^2 - 4(.5)(-9.8)(100)) / (2(.5)(-9.8))
    Hope that helps somebody else.

      Looks like you helped in other ways too

    • @kastieldj
      @kastieldj 6 років тому

      Depends on the direction of motion I think. If you are moving away from the centre of the earth (up) gravity is not helping you. Whereas, if you are moving towards the centre of the earth (down) gravity aids you. Also depends on how you set the directions, which you should do for every physics problem.

    • @Peter_1986
      @Peter_1986 8 років тому +4

      +sourav ghosh
      You can just set the initial height to zero, and proceed from there.

    • @AlchemistOfNirnroot
      @AlchemistOfNirnroot 8 років тому

      +Sourav Ghosh Pretty much the same thing. List all the horizontal and vertical competent information listed downward, SUVAT. Some information is already known, horizontal acceleration is zero whilst vertical is -g (given that 'up' is taken as positive). Also, at the maximum height final velocity is zero (or initial if considering the right hand side). Then select the correct equation with the variables you know and one unknown. Give me a example question if you want.

    Great Video! Was very helpful for studying for my exam. My professor only asked us to solve for the range, or distance the object traveled. You covered max height and where the ball was at a given time plus velocity, I was prepared for a 4 part question but instead it was only a 1 part :), thank the lord!

    I'm thinking of starting my own youtube channel dealing with tutoring physics. I think you did a great job but I think someone learning this material would benefit from seeing the material being filled in in a linear fashion, top to bottom.
