Projectile Motion and Circular Motion Notes, Study notes of Physics

These notes cover projectile motion, a special case of motion where gravity is the only force acting on an object, and circular motion, where an object moves in a circular path around a center. Topics include projectile motion equations, circular motion formulas, and examples of monkey guns and cannonball trajectories.

Geometry is given. Find the required velocity to hit the target. Example A cannon on your ship can eject a cannonball at speed v, at what angle you need to aim in order to hit a pirate ship at distance d.
