It is possible to solve this using equations for projectile motion that can be found in the majority of formula booklets. However, since they are not always available, it is good to understand where they ...

As we have there is object being fired out of the front of the spaceship we know the ship will have a lower velocity than before using the conversation of momentum. "The total momentum of a system is...

A moment is the product of a force and its perpendicular distance from a pivot in a rotational system. Moment = F x D

The strategy is to consider the horizontal and vertical components of the motion separately, and use the equations of motion in each direction. A few things to remember are: the vertical acceleration is a...
