For this lesson, I actually got help from my teacher, who is amazing at explain theories. I'll first show you this really cool examples and explain everything again if ou feel tired waiting for the video to load :D

Example 

This is the example of a monkey and a hunter, which shows you the science behind projectiles: On Earth, particles in free fall accelerates at a=9.81ms^-2

Theory

My teacher explaining the theory behind projectiles

 

Example on projectiles

Some examples will be given to help you with other excercises later on

?       5.00 ms^-1      0 ms^-1    -9.81 ms^-2  

 

=> v^2 = u^2 +2as

=> 0 = (5.00)^2 + 2x9.81xs

=> 0 = 25 - 19.6s => s = 25/19.6 = 1.28 (m)

=> s = ut + 1/2at^2

=> s = 5t - 4.9t^2 => t = 1.02 (s)

=> Range: 1.02 x 8.66 = 8.83 (m)
