PROJECTILES: MOTION UNDER GRAVITY IN TWO DIMENSION, DERIVATION AND APPLICATION OF EQUATION INVOLVING GREATEST HEIGHT, TIME OF FLIGHT AND RANGE

Content

Motion Under Gravity in Two Dimensions:

If a particle is projected with an initial velocity u at angle θ to the horizontal, the particle will be resolved into vertical and horizontal components of the velocity.

Horizontal components: Vx = ucosθ

Horizontal distance: Sx = utcosθ

Vertical components: Vy = usinθ-gt

Vertical distance: sy = utsinθ - ½ gt2

Magnitude of the velocity, v.... View More
