Initial Velocity of Particle given Horizontal Component of Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Initial Velocity of Projectile Motion = Horizontal Component of Velocity/cos(Angle of Projection)
v_pm = v_h/cos(α_pr)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Initial Velocity of Projectile Motion - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Initial Velocity of Projectile Motion is the velocity at which motion starts.
Horizontal Component of Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Horizontal Component of Velocity is the velocity of the particle which is resolved along horizontal direction.
Angle of Projection - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Projection is angle made by the particle with horizontal when projected upwards with some initial velocity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Horizontal Component of Velocity: 21.5 Meter per Second --> 21.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Angle of Projection: 44.99 Degree --> 0.785223630472101 Radian (Check conversion here)

What is projectile motion?

When a particle is thrown obliquely near the earth’s surface, it moves along a curved path under constant acceleration that is directed towards the center of the earth (we assume that the particle remains close to the surface of the earth). The path of such a particle is called a projectile and the motion is called projectile motion.
