Name: Nerd-A-Pult #2 - Another Projectile Motion Problem

Category: Kinematics

Date Added: 03 June 2014 - 12:29 PM

Submitter: Flipping Physics

Short Description: None Provided

This time in our projectile motion problem, we know the displacement in the y-direciton and we are solving for the displacement in the x-direciton. We could you use the quadratic formula and I even show you how, however, I also show you the way I recommend doing it which avoids the quadratic formula.
