  2. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    To find the angle giving the maximum height for a given speed calculate the derivative of the maximum height = ⁡ / with respect to , that is = ⁡ ⁡ / which is zero when = / =. So the maximum height H m a x = v 2 2 g {\displaystyle H_{\mathrm {max} }={v^{2} \over 2g}} is obtained when the projectile is fired straight up.

  3. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    θ is the angle at which the projectile is launched; y 0 is the initial height of the projectile; If y 0 is taken to be zero, meaning that the object is being launched on flat ground, the range of the projectile will simplify to: = ⁡

  4. Tree height measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_height_measurement

    Using this formula the height of the tree can be calculated no matter what angle you are holding your arm, and no matter what the length of the yardstick that extends above your hand. This has a big advantage if you are measuring a tree on uneven ground or if you can only measure the tree from a single angle.

  5. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    This formula allows one to find the angle of launch needed without the restriction of =. One can also ask what launch angle allows the lowest possible launch velocity. This occurs when the two solutions above are equal, implying that the quantity under the square root sign is zero.

  6. Tree measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_measurement

    The height proportion exhibits a maximum of 17.23% of the shape value and a minimum of 6.55%, the girth (minimum of 19 feet in the data set) exhibits a maximum of 58.25% and a minimum of 40.25%, and Average Crown Spread maximum of 49.08% and a minimum of 30.92%.

  7. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    Jurin's law, or capillary rise, is the simplest analysis of capillary action—the induced motion of liquids in small channels [1] —and states that the maximum height of a liquid in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the tube's diameter.

  8. Altitude (triangle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_(triangle)

    The altitude from A (dashed line segment) intersects the extended base at D (a point outside the triangle). In geometry, an altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a given vertex (called apex) and perpendicular to a line containing the side or edge opposite the apex.

  9. Tree girth measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_girth_measurement

    In this case a better option would be to measure the standard girth measurement at 4.5 feet above ground level on the high side of the tree and note this in the measurement description [13] [17] The height of this measurement point above the standard base point at midslope should also be noted. If measuring a mountaintop forest of stunted trees ...
