[mat]

can someone plz help me with projectile calculations

We need you to post a question first...

lol, make sure you understand the forumalae well. practice some question that have worked solutions.

besides the blatently obvious questions which require no more than direct substitution into forumula, the only real tricks come when you have to find out the value for one variable using another equation in order to use one particular value.

Umm for example when you might have to find time by using
V = U + AT and letting V = 0 (as at max height there is no vertical velocity) and then having to multiply that by two fo find the total time (as of course the object must also fall to the ground).

You might have to find that value in order to use another equation for example you have have had to find the range and needed to find the time before calculating range using R = VT

Things like that, they are fairly straight forward, its just a matter of thinking outside the square when it comes to using equations.

If you do 3U Maths you can just use the projectile equations from there. They're way easier to apply IMO

I'd rather stick with physics maths for projectile.

You are given equations and vaslues so all you have to do is substitute values.

yeh i do the same. it is so much easier to understand and u dont have to remember how to use those 6 formulas....

heh. I'd rather use Newtonian formulae as well.
