Initial Speed given Maximum Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Initial Velocity = (sqrt(Maximum Height*2*Acceleration due to Gravity))/sin(Angle of Projection)
u = (sqrt(H_max*2*g))/sin(θ_pr)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Initial Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Initial Velocity is the velocity of an object at the start of a motion, describing the object's initial state of motion.
Maximum Height - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Height is the highest point reached by an object under the influence of gravity or other external forces during its motion.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is the rate of change of velocity of an object under the influence of gravitational force, typically measured in meters per second squared.
Angle of Projection - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Projection is the angle at which an object is projected from the ground, influencing its trajectory and range of motion.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Height: 9.48 Meter --> 9.48 Meter No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
