    My phys teacher went over this but he talks so fast and just chicken scratches examples and notes for us and I cannot keep up like I remember him going through this but he moved so fast I just got lost in class and just gave up on trying to listen anymore and kept trying to remember the last example he erased to copy into my notes. So nice to have someone slow down and explain things in a relaxed manner instead of like we’re gonna go as fast as possible hope u can keep up here’s the hw any questions? Ask question .... where are the notes u need to use these equations look at my notes and half the equations had errors in them. Thank you it’s not so hard when the information is being shot at you at 299792458m/s

  • @boredengineeringentertainm4938
    @boredengineeringentertainm4938 2 роки тому +2

    Hold on….. you said that the velocity at the max height is not zero as it has some velocity in the horizontal direction . I used that formula and I still got the same answer. You can still use velocity at max = zero. Technically speaking, the particle has stopped moving at the highest point. We know that vox = vx because the velocity is constant in the horizontal direction which is fine. But remember we are asked about the y direction so I’d use the velocity in the y direction zero as the particle has stopped moving momentarily.

    • @PhysicsNinja
      @PhysicsNinja  2 роки тому

      Yes you can analyze the y component and set vy to 0. No problem there.

  • @libalele3460
    @libalele3460 Рік тому +1

    For part a are you factoring in the time the object takes while it is above the launch point? I solved for the time it takes to reach the highest point in its path, multiplied by 2, and then found the velocity at that time, which I used to find the time for the object to move 15m. I ended up with 4.52 seconds

  • @prestonhalle9818
    @prestonhalle9818 3 роки тому +4

    This might be a dumb question but wouldn’t the final velocity of the object be negative because it’s pointing down? I know the negative goes away when you square the terms but shouldn’t the resulting vector be negative to properly denote direction?

    • @aidendips4386

    • @PhysicsNinja
      @PhysicsNinja  5 років тому

      Then you need to work backwards. If you know the range of the projective R and the time you can find the velocity in the x-direction. If you know the time and the height you can use this information to find the initial velocity in the vertical direction. Once you know both components of the initial velocity solve for the launch angle using some trigonometry.

    • @panzerr4627
      @panzerr4627 3 роки тому

      i have the same question, though i have progress.
      first is you need to need to get the distance of the projectile from initial position until the vertical velocity of the projectile is zero. v_x*v_y/g where g is gravity, v_x is horizontal velocity, and v_y is vertical velocity.
      second, you need to get the time until the projectile touches the ground, starting from the time where vertical velocity is zero (from step 1), using the equation t = √(2d/g) where t is time, d is displacement, g is gravity.
      the value of d is the highest height the projectile had (including elevation) using the equation d = v_y*t+0.5*at^2+h where, t is the time the projectile is at it's highest value, h is the elevation relative to the height of the ground where the projectile lands.
      the value of t is equal to vsin(o)/g
      basically you get this equation (not simplified)
      o = angle
      range = (vcos(o)*vsin(o)/g)+✓(2(vsin(o)*(vsin(o)/g)+(1/2)*g*(vsin(o)/g)^2)/g)
      third, you rearrange the equation, where the equation equals the angle, which is my problem.

    Homie your numbers dont add up?? the final velocity in the y axis is calculated to be 19.11 m/s
    vfy ^2 = viy^2 + 2ady => vfy = √viy^2 + 2ad = √(20sine25)^2+ (2x15x9.8) = 19.11 m/s
    and then you use vfy to calculate the time using the eqaution vfy-viy/9.8 = 1.087 seconds
    edit : the final velocity you got is the final velocity XD, such a coincidence. The time is wrong tho-

      That's only true if you launch something from the ground and it land on the same flat ground. In that case the problem is completely symmetric. In the case illustrated above, we only have some of the parabola on the left side compared to the right hand side.
