Jun 8, 2022 at 13:45 comment added John Alexiou @Farcher - yet this "split" has no meaning and only exists because mass is a scalar (velocity and momentum are parallel). You cannot assert any conservation laws to any part of KE the way it is split up.
Jun 8, 2022 at 8:24 comment added Farcher @JohnAlexiou $\frac 12 mv^2 = \frac 12 m \dot x^2 + \frac 12 m \dot y^2$
Jun 7, 2022 at 22:09 comment added John Alexiou An object does not have separate horizontal or vertical kinetic energy. KE is not a vector quantity. You cannot separate the velocity components, just won't work.
Jun 7, 2022 at 21:58 comment added g s This is false. The main cause of the error is the second sentence, in which you've made lifting a cannon increase its muzzle velocity.
Jun 7, 2022 at 20:59 comment added Triatticus You should add how the maximum angle for longest range is achieved by firing from and angle smaller than 45 degrees.
