deriving equation for minimum height in projectile motion with two give me's :)
A ball is launched at a 45 degree angle and lands 152.4 m away. What is the maximum height the ball will reach during its flight. I Know the answer, what I need is to find a way to derive an equation [itex]Δy = {\frac{Δxtan(ϴ)}{4}}[/itex] I have played around for hours working backwards and forwards with the equations below. Its miserable.
[itex]Δy = {\frac{gt}{2tan(ϴ)}}[/itex]
All kinematic equations
