Physics: Optimal angle for a projectile part 3: Horizontal distance as a function of angle (and speed)
In this video, we'll finish writing the formula for distance as a function of the angle
Physics
Learn about the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. Solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry necessary.
Optimal angle for a projectile
This tutorial tackles a fundamental question when trying to launch things as far as possible (key if you're looking to capture a fort with anything from water balloons to arrows). With a bit of calculus, we'll get to a fairly intuitive answer.
Topic: Science
Learn about all the sciences, from physics, chemistry and biology, to cosmology and astronomy, across hundreds of videos, articles and practice questions.
