- A projectile is fired up an incline (incline angle θ) with an initial speed V[SUB]0[/SUB] at an angle φ with respect to the horizontal (φ > θ) as shown in Figure P4.86.
(a) Show that the projectile travels a distance, d, up the incline, where :
- Relevant Equations
- ##\displaystyle d=\dfrac{2{V_0}^2 \cos\theta \sin(\theta-\phi)}{g^2 \cos^2 \phi}##
(Edited by Mentor emeritus)
the red line is the initial velocity, the grey parabola is the path of the projectile.
hi there...I'm kinda stuck at the part b of this problem. I can do part a with no problem.
can anybody explain to me how to do the differentiation needed to solve part b?? by explain I mean explain the steps, not just showing the results. Thank you
