Help me please!


An object is launched horizontally from a known height with a known speed. Which two equations will allow you to find its range (the horizontal distance at which it hits the ground.)

Options are:


An object is launched from a known height at a known speed and a known angle above the horizontal. Which single equation allows you to find the vertical component of its velocity vector just before it hits the ground?

Options are:

x = xo + vox t + 1/2 ax t2 vx = vox + ax t vx2 = vox2 + 2 ax (x-xo) y = yo + voy t + 1/2 ay t2 vy = voy + ay t vy2 = voy2 + 2 ay (y-yo)

Explanation / Answer

a)x = xo+ voxt + 1/2 axt2

y = yo+ voyt + 1/2 ayt2


from 2nd equation u can find t as Voy =0 and ay=9.8

put t in 1st equation. find x which is range.


b)vy= voy+ ayt

Voy is known ay is known=9.8 so Vy can be found.
