    in last question, seperate into two parts ( ascend and fall), 2.55 sec for ascend, v=0+2(-9.18)(-132), s=vt/2, then u get t for fall: 5.39. then (5.39+2.55)*43.3 to get length

    for part b, why can't i use the equation v=u+at???? i get t=2.6 seconds...

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  Рік тому +2

      Ahh, that's because in the VERTICAL direction, we don't know v (the final vertical speed), so we can't use v=u+at to solve for t. You have to use vertical components only.

    When you calculated the time it took to fall vertically, why is s negative? Also, why is a negative? Isn't a positive when an object is falling downwards? Thanks

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  Рік тому

      It all depends on how you decide it in a question. I usually choose that everything upwards is positive, and everything downwards is negative. If you did it your way (so long as you're consistent always), you should be just fine :)

      I don't know which smax equation you are referring to. I always recommend you just use the equations on the IB's data booklet so you are used to what you are given.

    Why can't we use the range formula u^2 x sin (2 x angle) / g here. I'm getting a different value for this formula but don't understand why it's wrong

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  9 місяців тому +1

      Ahh, you shouldn't use this formula for two reasons:
      1. That formula is only valid for situations where the launch and landing are at the same height (both launch and impact on a horizontal surface). However, in this case, we're launching off the TOP of a cliff, but it will land much lower than the initial launch height (it lands on the ground below)
      2. That formula isn't one I recommend for IB physics. Stick to the formulae they give you (assuming you're an IB diploma student). If you use the 4 equations of accelerated motion carefully every time, you can solve 2D projectile motion questions well.

  • @seifshady214
    @seifshady214 2 роки тому +1

    in the second equation why is acceleration -9.81 while part of the is -9.81 and the other part is +9.81

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  2 роки тому

      We often use the convention that in 2D projectiles, if something is going UP, then we use positive values (speed, displacement, etc). And if something is acting DOWNwards, then we use a negative. And, since the acceleration due to gravity always acts downwards, then we use -9.81 ms^-2

    Why does he put an arrow on top of velocity and displacement what does it mean?

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  2 роки тому +2

      Hi! Good question - in physics and mathematics, we often put a small arrow to denote that a quantity is a vector instead of a scalar. A vector is something where we care about not only it's value, but also it's direction. A scalar we just care about it's value.
      Example: time is just a scalar, like t = 5 sec (it makes no sense to say t = 5 sec North!??)
      Example: velocity is a vector, like v = 5 m/s North (we care where it's pointing)

    • @Kevin_Cohen
      @Kevin_Cohen 3 роки тому

      Because it’s the final velocity before reaching the ground. At the ground it becomes 0, before = speed due to gravity * time

    why in the first question the inicial velocity is 25 and not 50?

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  4 місяці тому

      Initial velocity in the y-direction is 25, and that's what you needed. That's why the first thing to do is break up the vector into components to find what you need.

    for part B, the final answer would be adding the displacement of x and the displacement of y right? Since its asking for the distance from the base of the cliff.

    in b) why do you use 100 for the height instead of 132?

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  3 роки тому +2

      In part b, I'm ignoring what I just found in a), and starting again from the beginning with the initial conditions. Then you start with just a height of 100 m, so your displacement when you land in will be -100 m. Keep in mind, this is only in the VERTICAL direction we're considering.

    why does the final velocity in the second problem is not 0. the projectile hits the landing surface and it stops. why am i wrong?

    • @user-ni7hm3ry8o
      @user-ni7hm3ry8o 5 років тому +11

      think of it as the final velocity before it hits the surface and stops. so the velocity before 0.

    • @OSC1990
      @OSC1990  3 роки тому

      There are a number of ways of solving that final quadratic. You could use the quadratic equation. Or, you could graph the left side of the equation and use your calculator to find the zeros. Or, you can use a polynomial root finder. Ex: the TI-84 has an app called Polysmlt 2. Use that to get the roots. Or you can use a similar function on your calculator (TI-nSpire can do it easily)
