Question

Given a good mathematical model for the hypothesis given for the time of flight of a projectile (eq. 5) as a function of angle,

 

What does the fit parameter B represent in your model 

 

 

y =
A sin x
A sin 2x
y =
y = Ax
y = Ax + B
Transcribed Image Text:y = A sin x A sin 2x y = y = Ax y = Ax + B
B =
B
=
200
B was not used in the model.
B = t
B = 0
Transcribed Image Text:B = B = 200 B was not used in the model. B = t B = 0
Expert Solution
Step 1

In projectile , time of flight = 2v0sinθg , where v0 is the initial velocity and θ is angle , g is gravity.

If we modelled , time as y and angle as x, then it will be of the form y = Asinx , where A =2v0g
