Projectile motion with air resistance

[kenhung123]

At TSFX they gave us a bunch of formulae to work out height and velocity with air resistance. Is this needed?

[appianway]

It's not in the course.

[crappy]

yeah, not needed. Unless your doing spesh

In VCE physics you don't have to worry about air resistance.

u went there? i just worte in on my cheatsheet just in case:D

I have the notes, I just looked through it...all I found on air resistance was them saying we don't need to calculate with air resistance, but we need to know the effects air resistance can have on projectile motion and then they listed some qualitative effects...which page was it??

pg 13

yeah thats what I mean, lol I can't see any formulae, this is exactly what is stated in the first paragraph:

"This means that projectile motion calculations that include air resistance are beyond the abilities of mere secondary students (thanks TSFX). You are however, required to understand the qualitative effects of air resistance. These can be summarised as follows:...."

so yay no calculations with air resistance!

[Blakhitman]

can't get in trouble for that can I???

You won't need to know formulas for air resistance, just need to know how it affects the projectile.
