Apply the equation theta = tan–1(y/x) to find the angle: tan–1(1.0/–1.0) = –45 degrees. However, note that the angle must really be between 90 degrees and 180 degrees because the first vector component is negative and the second is positive.

How do you find theta of a triangle?
Just remember the cosine of an angle is the side adjacent to the angle divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle. In the diagram, the adjacent side is a and the hypotenuse is c, so cosθ=ac. To find θ, you use the arccos function, which has the same relationship to cosine as arcsin has to sine.
What is sin theta formula?
Sine Function: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse. Cosine Function: cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse.
What is the formula of sin 2 theta?
The double angles sin(2theta) and cos(2theta) can be rewritten as sin(theta+theta) and cos(theta+theta). Applying the cosine and sine addition formulas, we find that sin(2theta)=2sin( theta )cos(theta). Also, cos(2theta)=cos2(theta) – sin2(theta), see other forms for the two derivations.
What is the Theta symbol in math?
In mathematics, the lowercase θ is used as a variable to represent an angle, and the uppercase Θ is used in big-theta notation (a variant of big-O notation). The lowercase θ is also used to represent the potential temperature in meteorology.
What is the formula of horizontal range?
In the horizontal direction, the object travels at a constant speed v during the flight. The range R (in the horizontal direction) is given as: R=v0⋅T=v0√2Hg R = v 0 ⋅ T = v 0 2 H g.
What is G in projectile motion?
Gravity provides a constant acceleration g towards the center of the Earth (the negative y-direction). Since gravity acts vertically, there is no acceleration in the horizontal (x) direction. This special type of two-dimensional motion is called projectile motion.
What is the formula of maximum height?
h = v 0 y 2 2 g. h = v 0 y 2 2 g. This equation defines the maximum height of a projectile above its launch position and it depends only on the vertical component of the initial velocity.
How do you find the distance of a projectile?
The equation for the distance traveled by a projectile being affected by gravity is sin(2θ)v2/g, where θ is the angle, v is the initial velocity and g is acceleration due to gravity.
At what angle is the maximum range attained?
The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) is 45 degrees.
