In summary, the conversation discusses how to find R in terms of h, given the initial velocity and height of a dropped ball. The suggested equation is R = (v*2sin(theta))/g, but it is unclear if it applies to this specific case. The hint given is to use Newton's second law, and the desired equation should be based on two-dimensional rules and formulas.

Forums rules state you have to atleast attempt the problem. I'll give you a hint though, you only need Newtons second law to solve this problem.

well, I found a rule in the textbook where R = (v*2sin(theta))/g, but I wasn't really sure if this works as it's for projectile cases and it doesn't show anything about h. I need to find the equation using the two dimensional rules formulas.
 

FAQ: Finding R in terms of h for a ball dropped at v with 2D motion?

What is motion in 2 dimensions?

Motion in 2 dimensions refers to the movement of an object in a two-dimensional space, typically represented on a coordinate plane with both x and y axes.

How is motion in 2 dimensions different from motion in 1 dimension?

Motion in 2 dimensions involves movement in two different directions, while motion in 1 dimension only involves movement in a single direction.

What are some examples of motion in 2 dimensions?

Examples of motion in 2 dimensions include throwing a ball, flying an airplane, and driving a car on a curved road.

How is velocity calculated in 2 dimensions?

In 2 dimensions, velocity is calculated as the rate of change of an object's position in both the x and y directions. This can be represented by a vector with both magnitude and direction.

What is projectile motion?

Projectile motion is a type of motion in 2 dimensions where an object is launched into the air at an angle and moves in a curved path due to the influence of gravity.
