- I give an example physics problem that requires projectile motion (2D Kinematics) to solve. It involves shooting a basketball, with a difference in elevation.

Hey Dan, was just wondering how the solving process would go if we were given Vo and were tasked with finding the distance to the basket (x) and theta?
Hi, it's basically the same idea. First you'd split Vo into x and y components (it wouldn't be a numerical answer but in terms of theta). Then you'd start with y-axis kinematics, solve for time, and then use the x-axis equation.
However, I'm not sure if it's possible to solve if both theta and distance are unknown.
@@danthetutor2624 it’s a question I’m working on for an assignment, could I email it to you?
Yeah, sure dan@danthetutor.com
hey dan! can u help me on how to analyze the maximum height of the ball and the time when it happens?
Yep! My hint is that the maximum height is when the peak velocity (vf) is zero.
