Time of Flight?

The time of flight is the time taken to travel at a selected trajectory through the air. launch angle and preliminary velocity decide the time of flight of an item.

Time of Flight method:

The system in the time of flight preliminary pace and angle of the projection of flight: The time of flight equation is given via:

$$ t = \dfrac{V_o sin(α) + \sqrt{(V_o sin(α))^2 + 2gh}}{g} $$

in which:

V_o = Intail speed

α = attitude of Projection

g = Gravitational force

Example:

let's think the attitude of projection of an item is 45 degrees, the preliminary height and pace of the object are 5 m and 30 m/sec respectively. The gravitational pull is nine.80665 m/sec^2, then find how lengthy an item is inside the air.

Given:

V_o = 30 m/sec

α = 45 degrees

h = 5m

g = 9.80665 m/sec^2

Solution:

\( t = \dfrac{V_o sin(α) + \sqrt{(V_o sin(α))^2 + 2gh}}{g}\)

Enter the values in the time flight equation, for simplification use the time of flight calculator.

\(t = \dfrac{30 \times sin(45) + \sqrt{(30 \times sin(45))^2 + 2 \times9.807\times5}}{9.807}\)

\( t = \dfrac{30 \times 0.7071 + \sqrt{(30 \times 0.7071)^2 + 2 \times9.807\times5}}{9.807}\) 

\(t = \dfrac{21.21 + \sqrt{548.0665}}{9.807}\) 

\( t = \dfrac{44.62}{9.807}\) 

\( \text{t = 4.55 sec}\) 

The time of flight of the item is four.fifty five sec whilst checked through the projectile movement time calculator
