$$\theta = \dfrac{1}{2} \sin$$^{-1}$$ \left( \dfrac{gR}{v_0$^2} \right) = 29.5^\circ$$

Q: A projectile is launched with an initial speed $$v_0 at an $$angle $$\theta$$ above the horizontal. What is the formula for the range $$R on $$level ground?

Question 10

For an object moving in a circle of radius $$R$$ with constant speed $$v$$, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration?

Accepted Answer

$$a_c = \dfrac{v^2$}{R}$$

Question 11

Accepted Answer

It spends the same amount of time coming down as going up.
