Question

An object is being shot from a horizontal ground at an incline angle of 30 degree with respect to the ground at a speed of 52 m/s. Find the duration in seconds that the object is above the height of 14 m. Give your answer with one decimal place.

Answer 1

When an object is thrown at an angle from the horizontal, the path followed by the body is called the projectile motion. The duration in seconds that the object is above the height of 14 m is 4.698 s.

What is speed?

Speed is the time rate at which velocity is changing.

Vertical speed component is

V₀y = 52sin 30°= 26 m/s

Given is the height h=14m

Using second equation of motion,

S=ut+ 1/2 at²

Substituting the values, we get

14 = 26t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 26t +14 =0  

Solving the quadratic equation, we get the time as

taking the positive sign, t =4.698 s

taking the negative sign , t = 0.6082 s

Thus, the duration in seconds that the object is above the height of 14 m is 4.698s.
