I don't know how to tackle projectiles and would like to have someone sort of show me what you look for in projectiles and how you normally tackle projectile problems.
The golfer wants to hit the ball the same horizontal distance of 130M and 20M above his tee-off point as in Problem 10-32, but in this case, the tee-off point is 10M above the landing spot of the ball. What is the ball's initial velocity.
*10-32 just states the same problem but doesn't have a 10M tee-off point*
Im using the 3 kinematic formulas.
S= VoT + 1/2at²
V=Vo + at
V²=Vo² + 2as
I just don't know where to begin other then to draw a diagram. I understand somewhere in this problem I must use trig functions cos, sin but I am seriously stuck here..How do you guys normally tackle these projectile problems...break it down like I am a 1st grader!
