Physics 3.5: Projectile Motion - Finding the Angle (1 of 4) Simple Case

In this video I will find the angle=? of a projectile fired at an angle at h=0 with initial velocity v0 traveling a distance x.

Im still really struggling with this, my physics teacher doesnt explain how to do anything, he just gives us the assignments and we have to figure out how to do it, every afternoon for me is devoted to trying to understand how to do this and it takes about 2 hours per each question. I really dont know what to do... Its taking up so much of my time

You just saved my ass! For some reason this equation is so hard to find, and I missed the day it was given to our class. Thank you so much for the explanation!!!

Using this to calculate where my tank cannon should be pointing at in a videogame I'm making. So far, incredibly well explained, I'm hoping that the next is as good as this one. 10/10.

Best on YouTube history for physics who are zero in physics this channel gives to you to feel physics ❤

This is so helpful. I have been struggling in my AP physics class, and this makes things a lot more clear.

thank you for explaining this so well!! this video is a life saver for my homework

Your videos are still helping students in 2024. Thanks for explaining things so clearly!

I have a great Dynamics professor at CPP, but watching this video helped internalize the material a little more. Thank you!

thank you so much!!! i was struggling more than an hour with a problem and i’m so happy that i found this video, it really helped me so much i was about to cry lol thanks again🙌🏼

Thank you so much for this michael!!!! Youve been a great help, i never thought of just finding a formula to make life easier for myself. Much Love

[SbongakonkeZondi-fq]

you are the true definition of a GOAT!! You really saved me.

[mmukulkhedekar]

wow this is so your method of teaching!!

I've been trying to sole this for two days. Thank you!

In a video game I was playing I downloaded some mods that added cannons and howitzers. The mods didn't come with any ballistic calculators so I decided to make my own with which I could find the angle at which I need to fire. I tried and failed, tried and failed more, tried and succeeded a bit, then failed more for 2 days until I got to sin(2theta)= dg/v^2 (d being distance) and I got stuck as I didn't know how to solve it for theta. Thank you good sir for you have now helped me in this task which was insightful and fun.

Thankyou for making my problem gone finally i know how to find that angle without given x and y Vi, I'm ready in my quiz later

Do you know how to find the maximum height when you're only given the time of flight and the range? I got the correct answer according to my textbook by multiplying acceleration due to gravity by the time ( 9.8 x 8) but I don't understand how that worked.
If it helps the question was 'A projectile has a time of flight of 8.0s and a range of 1120m, find maximum height and launch velocity'

[jennyventura]

Thank you so much for the clarity!! I have one question: why is it that a problem asking to solve for the angle may also ask 'why there might there be two different angles'? Thank you!!

I have no clue what I’m watching right now but I genuinely want to learn.

Any starter tips?
