Projectile motion. When the projectile is shot from an elevated spot.?
I'm a bit stuck on a problem, though I'm sure its easier than it looks. I have this typical projectile motion physics problem, but the projectile is launched from an elevated point (like about 30m above the x-axis).
Its asking to find the horizontal range of the projectile. I know the formula to find the horizontal range, but will the formula work? If I'm not mistaken, a projectile will have a different distance travelled when its launched from an elevated height. as oppose to if it were launched at the same level that it would land on.
thanks!

2 AnswersOther - Music1 decade agoAre the Detroit Red Wings the best sports franchise in North America at this moment?
Seriously, four (perhaps even five) championships in the last 15 years. Adapting well from picking up elite talent from the bottom of drafts (Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, etc), keeping a mix of old and young talent. With the success the Wings have had in the last 15 years as well as their brilliance in management, i'd say its almost impossible to find another North American team with such consistency of success, perhaps the New England Patriots..but what do you think? if you disagree, please back it up proficiently.

With the economy being as bad as it is right now, should US citizen be embraced to pursue careers thats are more innovative than working at wal-mart or anything else that has to do with manufacturing or mass producing?

whats better, both are completely different, FIBA is almost anti NBA where your allowed to defensively prevent those from driving into the lanes for a nice slam, the NBA doesnt allow you to lay a single finger on an offensive player. whats your opinion?
13 AnswersBasketball1 decade agohigher expectations.?
do you think todays world has higher expectationg than say 50 years ago? even less?
i think so, today thanks to new inventions (especially in the communications) with internet and satellites, the world seems to easily have access with any information, this is causing school to up the bar in education and its also leveling the playing field in the international economy as the small companies can compete at a international scale just like the big dogs. whats your opinions, feel free to throw anything out, im open minded :)
