    I've learned so much from watching your physics videos in two days than what I have failed to learn in a month from my incompetent physics professor. Thank you so much for posting such high-quality videos that are also entertaining!

      Sorry to learn that you are not getting what you need from your physics professor. Kudos to you for finding other resources to help you learn. Thanks for the high praise!

    I had no idea what I was doing in this chapter and after watching your videos on kinematics and projectile motion, I was able to get a 100 on my unit test!! Thank you for these really explanatory videos!!

      Solve the equation for theta. In other words, rearrange the equation such that it is theta = ....

    Hey Mr. P, why did we use sin(2theta) in the range equation and not 2sin(theta)cos(theta)?

  • @ummeyhabiba3793

    can you please tell me that why do we use the derivative of something with respect to something to find the maximum quantity of that particular thing?

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  8 лет назад

      Look at 2 graphs in the thumbnail of this video: www.flippingphysics.com/drop-and-upward-throw.html
      1) The graph of position as a function of time in the upper left.
      2) The graph of velocity as a function of time just below it.
      Both of these graphs are for an object which is thrown straight upward from the time it leaves my hand until I catch it again at the same height.
      The derivative of a position as a function of time graph is velocity. In other words the derivative of the first graph is the second graph. Derivative is slope. As the ball moves up, the velocity is decreasing, hence the slope of the 1st graph is decreasing as a function of time. When the ball is at the very top (its _maximum_ height), its velocity is zero, which means the slope of the 1st graph is zero, which means the value of the 2nd graph is zero.
      Hence: Set the derivative of a function equal to zero and you will find where that function has maxima and minima.
      Hope that helps!

    I thought sin 2 theta is a trig identity that equals 2(sin theta cos theta).

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  3 года назад +1

      That is called the "sine double angle formula" and we use it in the derivation of the range equation: www.flippingphysics.com/deriving-the-range-equation.html

  • @adilramgoolam5449
    @adilramgoolam5449 3 года назад

    why wouldn 't larger angles would not produce a larger range?

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 года назад

      Look at the extreme case that the launch angle is straight up. This one is intuitive that it should have zero range, due to no horizontal initial velocity. Because the range of a projectile is a continuous function, this means that at some point, there is a turning point on this function where maximum range will occur. After that maximum range angle, the function should become a decreasing function that brings it back down to zero. That turning point ends up occurring at 45 degrees, when the landing elevation is the same as the launch elevation.

      actually let me specify a bit further, they don't use it in bullet drop, however it is used in grenades and maybe... arrows, mainly in gears of war.
