Question

Best ways to approach projectile motion?

Answer 1

Use your imagination. Draw picture. Must consider vertical and horizontal directions separately. Write down all the given , use units. Decide what you can determine. May have to use at least two formulas. HAVE all motion formulas available. Vertical means use gravity, and find time (t) then can use for finding horizontal values , d. Vf, is always zero at the top of the projectile. Comes to a full stop before heading down again. Using pythagorean theorem find unknown vector... as well should be able to find angle.
