And since $y'=y$, you can just work out the relevant coords of the range & max height in $S$ then transform them to $S'$. The key point is to always work with spacetime events. Get the $(t,x,y,z)$ coords of event $A$ in $S$ and use the transformation to see what the $(t',x',y',z')$ coords of $A$ are in $S'$. | |
| Dec 24, 2021 at 15:20 | comment | added | Kevin | Yup I am working with non-relativistic initial velocities. Nice! Thanks for the info, so in that sense I'm actually right. Now, would it be possible you help me with the range and maximum height? For the range in $S'$ ($R'$) would it be enoough to find $t'$ such that $y'=0$ and then substitute it in the equation for $x'$? $h'_{max}$ should be the same right? | |
