Hey there,
I was wondering if anyone could explain why the final condition v = 2 when t=0 is sufficient to eliminate the negative solution for v? Since t isn't even a variable, what relevance does it have? Is there another way to show that v will be positive in this case? Are there any times when v is negative?
Thank you
EDIT: Is the second solution for determining an expression for the range able to be solved with the following method? (This is how I did it but I got the wrong answer, why is the reasoning incorrect?)
1. Find when vertical velocity = 0 (this time will allow us to deduce the horizontal displacement as the object will be at rest)
2. Sub found time to into x (horizontal displacement)
The answer I got was R = 20sin2(theta)
Thanks again
