@acupuncter but if one cant understand wat is he writin wat will he get frm the lesson!! i literally didnt understand some words and this cud create cnfusions in a students mind!!
I just started doing Year 12 and began projectile motion just a few days ago. Whilst my teacher is awesome, it is fantastic to have another person explaining the concept.
I am literally watching each and every physics video you have made. I have my final exam on friday and I learned nothing from my professor so these videos are really saving my physics I mark because without them I will undoubtedly fail it. So thank you so muchh.
It would be awesome if you can show examples on interpreting story problems. It's harder to identified the given and implied values from a story...it'll help tremendously since problems on assignments and exams rarely itemize the known values to have you just do the math. Thanks!
oh yes sorry didn't read the question fully, it is equal to the displacement because displacement specifies the change in position of a point in reference to a previous position, which is the same as change in distance.
no the change in distance is the difference between the initial distance(the position of the ball right before you let go of the ball) and the final distance(the point at which the ball hits the ground which essentially is the ground).
so if you let the ball go at 2 meters high and it hit the ground at 0 meters high then the distance is equal to 2 meters down or -2meters up.
Sal...maybe I'm missing the point, but when you have 0m=Vit-5t^2, you go though the steps of factoring out the t to get Vi=5t and then you plug in the time to get Vi. Why do you have to do the extra step? Aren't you able to simply plug time into the original equation? (0m=Vit-5t^2)
The 5 comes from the acceleration of gravity (10ms^-2) divided by a scalar quantity (2), the units do not change when you divide by a scalar. So on the right you have 5ms^-2 x ts(seconds) and when they multiply the s from the time and the s from the acceleration cancel to form m/s (metres per second) which is the same unit as v(i)m/s on the left.
Yeah, I tried this with my friend. The cool thing we found out about it was that no matter what angle we trew the ball, the total time of flight was the same as if it was throw straight up..
I am very happy to see the vidoe Projectile motion (part 5) after you give this

For some reason i learn physics when it is taught by you, not by my teacher.

Ok I've seen something you've done twice now.
I'm looking at the equation (delta)d = Vi*T + at(squared)/2.
When you divide at(squared)/2 is it supposed to be -5*t(squared)/2?

so the change is distance is displacement?

If you threw the ball at escape velocity (or greater), would this predict that the ball would not return?
TheStigGTR 2 years ago 3
In the absence of air, the ball would not return (otherwise the air would slow it down)

Yes, but he wanted so show how the initial velocity is a function of the time it takes to reach the ground.

Please help:
v(i) = 5t
seems to be in units of "m/s" on left of equation , yet simply units of "s" on the right.
cbot141 3 years ago 3
The 5 comes from the acceleration of gravity (10ms^-2) divided by a scalar quantity (2), the units do not change when you divide by a scalar.
