imran can u help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

physics projectile got some questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure shoot

OpenStudy (aravindg):

wow thx dont go away let me type

OpenStudy (aravindg):

1.If at any instant the velocity of a projectile be u and its direction of motion theta with horizontal then show that it will be moving at right angles to this direction after a time (u/g)*cosec theta

OpenStudy (aravindg):

............

OpenStudy (aravindg):

got it??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

?pls eplain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h(t)= u cos(theta) t v(t)= u sin(theta) t - 1/2 g t^2

OpenStudy (aravindg):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

what u did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

top one is horizontal component , bottom one is verticle -- that's why there gravitiy

OpenStudy (aravindg):

but formula of height is 2u sintheta/g ryt??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does that come from?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

:) formula of max height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are not loooking for max height

OpenStudy (aravindg):

wel u can continue answering

OpenStudy (aravindg):

k understood

OpenStudy (aravindg):

..........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h(t)= u cos(theta) t v(t)= u sin(theta) t - 1/2 g t^2 plug in (u/g)*cosec theta for t in both equation

OpenStudy (aravindg):

we are told to prove that time is u/g cosec theta

OpenStudy (aravindg):

this is just verification isn't it???

OpenStudy (aravindg):

we need to derive time=u/g cosec theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We need to show that direction at that time is perpendicular to \[\theta\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

so?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

k got it

OpenStudy (aravindg):

what we get if we plug in u/g cosec theta??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some number which we can find direction by doing arctan{v/h}

OpenStudy (aravindg):

how we find theta=90

OpenStudy (aravindg):

tan 90 not defined

OpenStudy (aravindg):

then how we take arc tan
