Projectile motion formulas - Physics Stack Exchange
But Id like to know if there are other formulas that would allow me to find the values of theta that would allow the projectile to reach a certain target if the initial velocity is know. Or perhaps the velocity …
Projectile Motion with Drag - Physics Stack Exchange
The overall goal is to write a Mathematica program that will compute the launch angle that will yield the greatest range with using [RandomInt] function, but I was having trouble with the physics. ...
Discover the Meaning of Δy in Projectile Motion Formula: A ...
Jun 16, 2009 · I would like to simply know what Δy=[(sin2θ)(Vi)]^2/2a represents.. The formula only requires the angle and the initial velocity (along with the usual a=9.8m/s^2), so what height does the …
Can Projectile Motion with Drag be Calculated with a Formula?
May 29, 2009 · Calculating projectile motion with drag requires understanding that drag force varies with speed and affects the object's velocity. The drag force can be expressed with the formula F_drag = …
Projectile Motion with Air Resistance and Wind
Consider the system in the exact same manner as you would without wind resistance, and then draw a free body diagram and look at acceleration and forces on the projectile. The only thing that air adds …
When to Use Sin and Cos in Projectile Motion Calculations?
Feb 28, 2011 · Homework Statement This is a more general question... but here is a specific example in which I don't know why sin is used where it is and why cos is used where it is. I don't need the …
Using quadratic formula to find time [projectile motion]
Feb 28, 2018 · 1. Homework Statement I'm doing lab, and to start we have to find ΔX of a projectile launched an angle. The first step for us is to find time, and to make it easier our teacher …
Quadratic drag projectile motion - Physics Stack Exchange
1 I have calculated formulas with 1 dimensional trajectory motion (free-fall) including quadratic drag, and have created the following equations. These equations of motion are not of much use on its own, …
Calculating max height of projectile with initial height
Dec 15, 2023 · I was messing around with this Projectile Motion Simulator, and it does seem that adding the initial height to the equation above would yield the max height when such initial height is considered.
Vertical trajectory of a projectile with quadratic drag
Jun 20, 2024 · I was wondering is there is an equation (or function) that can predict the apogee time and height of an object given its current acceleration and the usual constants ( mass, drag coefficient, …
