How do you determine the range of the projectile motion?

In: Physics, Kinematics [Edit categories]

Answer:

First, you need to know how long the object is in flight.
y=v₀sin(theta)t-(.5)(g)t²
^{If the object's final height is the same as it's initial height, then y=0 and the above equation becomes time=((2v}₀^{sin(theta))/g)^(1/2).}
^{Now that you know how long the object is in flight, you use the distance=rate x time.}
^{Range= v}₀^{cos(theta) x time}

How do you determine the range in a projectile motion?
Wind, elevation, trajectory, projectile weight, projectile configuration, barrel length, barrel rifling, friction or resistance in the barrel, force (charge) behind the projectile. There are other...
What two factors determine a projectile's range?
The two main factors that affect the range of a simple projectile are the angle and speed of the launch. Both of these can be included in the launch velocity, which is a vector that is usually split...
Is projectile motion a circular motion?
No. Neglecting air resistance, the projectile follows a parabola. The horizontal distance is proportional to 'time', and the vertical distance is proportional to 'time squared'. This is exactly the...
What will be the range if theta45 degrees and height is given in projectile motion?
it will only be four times the height.simply use kinematics to find the relationship between height,initial speed and angle of projection theta, ull get( u^2 sin^2theta)/2g, g of course being the...
What do you need to know to determine the time that a projectile is in motion?
You need four pieces of information:1. The acceleration due to gravity (Earth at sea level is 9.8 m/sec2)2. Air resistance on the projectile (if any, based on area)3. The object's initial velocity...
