My teacher told me that to get the horizontal velocity on a question like this, you should divide the total displacement by the total time. I thought that would give you the intial or average velocity though... Could someone explain why using the total distance and total time will give you the horizontal velocity? I have a shitty teacher....
@JackMoranRain Initial velocity is average velocity in that case. why? remember, we are looking at the ball travelling horizontally. There is no loss in velocity horizontally because there is no deceleration unlike the ball's vertical velocity which has deceleration due to gravity. With no loss in velocity, initial velocity is average velocity:)
actually you'd be wrong. i think he was trying to solve for how far the ball would actually go in the air. if you were to extend the curved yellow dotted line to a straight line, its be longer than the 100 m
nope THIS IS WRONG please read my coment to answer why.
he calculated vx of only horizontal component and vertical component right
so why did he take 100 as the dx ?because as horizontal component increases to 100 m then the vertical component would increase too forming a right triangle over the 100m line theta angle pointed towards to left i e, 30 deg. in short this problem is unsolvable u atleast need time or height to solve it feel free to reply because i want to prove i m wrong
@r3mixstyle when ur at university level (3rd yr engineering) vectors you will not be allowed any calculators. So better get used to 30,60,90 and 45,45,90 triangles and their rules, so yea projectile problems will haunt you through out university.
@r3mixstyle true but there is a problem in it he calculated vx of only horizontal component and vertical component right
so why did he take 100 as the dx ?because as horizontal component increases to 100 m then the vertical component would increase too forming a right triangle over the 100m line theta angle pointed towards to left i e, 30 deg. in short this problem is unsolvable u atleast need time or height to solve it feel free to reply because i want to prove i m wrong:)
Some people might try to solve this question using decimal values instead of square roots. If you are going the decimal route (i.e.--using Vx = 0.87Vi and Vy = 0.5Vi), be sure to set up your time as t = 2 (0.05Vi) or t = (0.1) (2Vi). Otherwise you'll end up kilometers off course.

excellent video, and in here i can solve problems easily, but my stupid school is full of irregularities, and we get different professors that barely know the material they have to teach.
Damn these videos are just amazing. I never would've thought I would've learned so much. From what I knew at the frist video all the way to where I'm at now, is just a huge amount of information I've learned. Thank you Sal, again.
The exam board I'm doing A-Level physics with uses 'u' as the initial velocity and 'v' as the final velocity since 'u' comes before 'v'. We rarely use subscript.

I am 13 years of age and learning this for my pleasure so please stop calling people stupid. It is derogatory for you to call people stupid for learning from this video when you yourself were once at this stage. I am sure that one day this will be as intuitive to us as as it is alleged to be very intuitive and easy for you. Please think about what you have typed before posting a comment. Thank you.
i emailed him stuff on it but he hasnt replied yet i guess he is a bit busy, i asked him to do applied mechanics sort of questions you do in engineering
ok this one lost me....too much trig, I tried using the cos 30 = .87 instead of the square root jargon and got a different answer, we never learn like this
Thanks for doing these. I have done something similar with brass instrument videos. Nice to see it done for physics and everything else you have done! Thanks again.

d = v t, Wouldn't that be the average velocity and not the initial velocity.
JackMoranRain 11 months ago
@JackMoranRain it is average velocity.

@Seedofwinter But he says initial velocity. Is he making a mistake, or am i just getting something confused?

because hes making sin 30 to blabla bla..
it would bne much better if he just calclated everthing with sin x ..
