The solution to this question has been evading me for a while. This is technically a simple physics problem. If a projectile is to be launched at a given angle theta, height 'h' and distance 'd'. Determine an equation to find the initial velocity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[I=\int_{t_0}^{t_1} f(t) dt=mv_1 - mv_0\] \[v_0=0\] so v=\[\frac{\int_{t_0}^{t_1} f(t) dt}{m}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm initial Velocity, Velocity when Height = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right after you launch it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or by h he(hades) means maximum height and d for range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I though he meant what would initial velocity depend on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am confused on this one :-/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It could be either, but other case is much easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would i need an to derive a equation for initial velocity of a projectile, i just need to kick it with some velocity and find the velocity at some point later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I read it one way last night, and differently now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe he is saying get the initial velocity of a projectile who is at height h and distance d from the point of launch and umm makes angle alpha with x axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is h , height kicked from , or the height it goes to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am thinking of the height 'h' it goes to i haven't seen a question like this before, i am really confused about this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's better if we leave it alone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean i don't get it okay hmm lets say i place a ball a meter above the ground and decide the angle it should be kicked on and lets say at distance d from some point now the initial velocity is completely dependent on how hard i kick the ball, why would be there an equation for how hard a ball should be kicked i could be wrong :-/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it's better to leave it alone
