Hey VN Members, there are formulas used for Projectile motion, for landing at same height

Eg. Time to reach max height
Range
Maximum height reached

and many others, if you can please post the formulas than big help, thanks

Range = $\frac{u^2 \sin (2\theta)}{g}$

ok thanks

time to reach max height.
$V_v=U_v+at$
solve for $t$

range
$U_h \times t= Range$
input $U_h$ and $t$

max height reached
$(V_v)^2=(U_v)^2+2ax$
solve for $x$

THANKKSS DAMO 17 HUGE AID !!
AND FLAMING....

AWESOME GUYS !!

but what components do we use for max height, and time reached then?

thnx

for time to reach max height you would have been given $V$ and $\theta$ or $U_v$ so if given $V$ and $\theta$ work out $U_v= V sin \theta$
$V_v$ at the top is $0$ . $a=-10$ , put these value in and solve for t.

By the way $U_v$ means initial vertical velocity and $U_h$ means initial horizontal velocity. $V_v$ means final vertical velocity.
For max height reached use $V_v=0$ , $U_v=V sin \theta$ and $a=-10$ and solve for $x$ .

Ok these are the complete formulas:

For FULL parabolic path:

(' $u$ ' stands for initial speed not the horizontal or vertical.)

$\mbox{Total time of flight}$ $= \frac{2usin\theta}{g}$
$\mbox{Height_{max}}$ $= \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}$
$\mbox{Range}$ $= \frac{u^2sin(2 \theta)}{g}$

For HALF parabolic path:

( $'u'$ stands for horizontal speed)

$\mbox{Total time of flight = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}$
$\mbox{V{vertical speed} = \sqrt{2gh}}$
$\mbox{Range = u\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}$
$v_{\mbox{just before touching ground}} = \sqrt{u^2+2gh}$

tnx every1 !!

Honestly, all you need to remember are the five or so orignial motion equations. Those complicated ones like $\frac{2usin\theta}{g}$ and $\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$ can be derived using the original ones.

Okay, Thanks every, Awesome....Its all clear now....

Once you know the basic formulas, you can answer alll questions much easily

naved_s9994 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2009, 06:38:59 pm »

Truetears....For HALF parabloic 'the velocity before touching ground'....umm, ive found the speed....but how would you work out the angle at which it touches the floor?

THANKS

Draw a right angled triangle and use Pythagoras

naved_s9994 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2009, 07:30:47 pm »

Thanks TT

One day I have to pay you back some how....like SERIOUSLY !!

Thanks once again !!

naved_s9994 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2009, 07:42:42 pm »

For full para....max height...you got sin squared...

how do you put that into calc...DOESNT WORK??
