1. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
Non-Dimensionalisation of Equations
Advantages of Non-dimensionalisation
Increases our insight about the relationships between key
parameters
Doubling has the same effect as decreasing by a factor of 4.
Effect on experiments
Experimentally determine how the trajectory is affected by initial
conditions and and the gravitational acceleration
The above equation is valid for this problem
is the independent variable and is the dependent variable
