but it falls on your head.
-
We know the truth is somewhere between 0 and 90.
-
Now, the naive guess may be 45,
-
but it turns out the naive guess is actually correct.
-
I just want to show you how that comes out.
-
I don't want you to cram this formula.
-
This is the kind of thing you should be able to deduce.
-
Let's go back to the same thing I wrote earlier.
-
x = 0 plus-- What's the horizontal velocity?
-
Horizontal velocity is v0 cos θ.
-
So x is v0 cos θ times t.
-
And y is v0 sin θ times t minus one half times g t square.
