because they are using s as distance, its not the same as units of time s is seconds.goldfish9776 said:
The time of flight in projectile motion refers to the amount of time it takes for a projectile to travel through the air before reaching its highest point and then falling back to the ground. It is the total duration of the projectile's motion.
The time of flight in projectile motion can be calculated using the formula t = 2 * V * sinθ / g, where t is the time of flight, V is the initial velocity of the projectile, θ is the angle of launch, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).
The time of flight in projectile motion is affected by various factors, including the initial velocity of the projectile, the angle of launch, the acceleration due to gravity, and air resistance. The shape and mass of the projectile can also play a role in the time of flight.
No, the time of flight cannot be longer than the initial velocity. This is because the initial velocity is a measure of how fast the projectile is moving, while the time of flight is a measure of how long it takes for the projectile to travel through the air. The initial velocity is a speed, while the time of flight is a duration.
Air resistance can decrease the time of flight in projectile motion by slowing down the projectile as it travels through the air. This is because air resistance creates a force that acts in the opposite direction of the projectile's motion, causing it to lose speed and reach the ground faster. However, in most cases, the effect of air resistance on the time of flight is negligible.
