Horizontal component of initial velocity
Ucosx
Vertical component of initial velocity
Usinx
Time of flight formula projectiles
2Usinx / g
Time to reach greatest height formula projectiles
Usinx / g
Range on horizontal plane formula projectiles
U^2 sin2x / g
Equation of trajectory formula projectiles
y = x tan(alpha) - gx^2 ((1+tan^2 (alphas)) / 2U^2)
For moments, what do you use sin or cos?
Moving away from the angle = sin (moveSaway) Moving towards the angle = cos (cowards)
What is a moment measured in?
Nm
What is the sum of the moments acting on a body called?
The resultant moment
What are coplanar forces?
Forces which act in the same plane
What do we know about a rigid body in equilibrium?
resultant force in any direction = 0N resultant moments about any point = 0Nm
Where is the center of mass on a rod?
If uniform, in the middle If non-uniform, in a given place
When a rigid body is on the point of tilting about a pivot, the reaction at any other support (or the tension in any other wire or string) is what?
0
