Tips For Solving Projectile Motion Problems
- 1. X-motion is ALWAYS independent of Y-motion If you don’t know time (t), solve for it FIRST Why? Time is the same for both directions and will be the same in any equation Write down given information (and in what direction ISOLATE UNKNOWN VARIABLE FIRST BEFORE PLUGGING IN NUMBERS
