I would like to give one more example on projectile motion and
in particular on how to figure out whether or not things will collide
or meet in the course of their motion. The presecription for solving
these problems is quite simple:
-
Write expressions for the time dependent
position of the objects,
in question. Use the same coordinate system!
-
Look for solutions to
.
The objects collide or meet if there is a time, t which satisfies this
equation.
