Using the equations x(t) = x + voxt and y(t) = yo + voytgt for projectile motion, we will show that the trajectory y(x)

 

Using the equations x(t) = x + voxt and y(t) = yo + voytgt for projectile motion, we will show that the trajectory y(x) is a parabola. In other words, y(x) must be of the form y(x) = Ax + Bx + C. To make things simpler, let x = 0 here. (a) Determine the coefficients A, B and C in terms of yo, Vox, Voy, and g. Your answer should not contain any other symbols than these! (b) Instead of using Vox and voy we can also write the trajectory y(x) = Ax + Bx + C in terms of the initial speed vo and the launch angle 0. Determine the coefficients A, B and C in terms of yo, vo, e, and g. Your answer should not contain any other symbols than these!
