Solving Angle-Launched Projectile Problems

Mr. H shows how to analyze a physics problem involving a projectile launched from ground level at an angle, rising up and falling back to the original height. After discussing the concepts and formulas, two examples are done to calculate the time in the air, the horizontal displacement, and the height at the peak.

I cannot thank you enough, this was extremely helpful. I now feel confident going into my test tomorrow!

[hexader]

i love how in the end, you put in a summary and the equations used. thanks, it makes it so much easier

[harshapandaraboyina]

very helpful, clearly stated and well explained

[Reign-rkhv]

This is the most easy lesson i have ever attended. Thank you sir.

This video was extremely helpful, thank you for taking the time to make it :) I have my first exam in a week and I've been struggling to understand concepts related to projectile motion, but you made it very easy for me to understand and I already feel more confident that I'll be able to do well on my exam!

Been watching your videos a lot lately. The practice problems really help. Thanks for the content :D

[alyssabernardo]

thank you so much! all of ur vids are super helpful and u should have way more subscribers!

[translateconversion]

You're a lifesaver! Thank you very much.

I have been trying so hard to understand this topic and you sir, have helped me like no one . Im finally getting the idea of it thanks to your explanations. Thanks a lot for the material!!!!

[maedotwondesen]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR!! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! KEEP IT UP

[sniaaaaa]

This video really helped I've been struggling a lot with physics and your videos make it so much easier to learn, Thank you!!!

[tanjinx]

you're so helpful omg! thank you.

[GlorifiedTruth]

VERY nice. I'm helping my goddaughter with this, and I couldn't make heads or tails of what to do based on her notes!

how do you find the original velocity if you aren’t given the angle, but you do have Voy and Vox?

[yathharthhakaushal]

How would I find the Distance travelled in the X axis if the projectile is launched from a height that is not zero?

[rmazam]

How about the problems related to projectile launched at an angle from a height say a cliff? Are there any problems related to it? I couldn't find on your website.

[GraceDumplings]

So for the equation on number 5, I always thought u had to use an equation with acceleration too?

[nikcyc.a.]

How I calculate the time if only I know the Vox and Voy value?

[judevinlyalmazar]

can you slow down the talking?? what's the rush? i cant understand anything.
