Chapter 8.FOM, Problem 8P

To determine

(a)

To simulate:

The path of a projectile with ${\nu }_0=10\text{ ft/s}$ and $\text{T s t e p}=0.02$.

Experiment with various values of $\theta$.

To determine

(b)

To simulate:

The path of two projectiles, fired simultaneously, one at $\theta ={30}^{\circ }$ and the other at $\theta ={60}^{\circ }$ with ${\nu }_0=10\text{ ft/s}$ and $\text{T s t e p}=0.02$.

To find the horizontal locations of the projectiles and to determine the one that lands first.

To determine

(c)

To simulate:

The path of a ball thrown straight up ($\theta ={90}^{\circ }$).

Experiment with values of ${\nu }_0$ between 5 and $20\text{ ft/s}$ and $\text{T s t e p}=0.02$.

Simulate the path of two balls thrown simultaneously at different speeds.

To find the maximum height the ball reaches when ${\nu }_0$ is doubled.
