Question

A catapult can project a projectile at a speed as high as 37.0 m/s. (a) if air resistance can be ignored, how high (in m) would a projectile launched at this speed rise if projected straight up? m

Answer 1

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be 69.78 meters.

What is kinematics?

The study of motion without considering the mass and the cause of the motion. The equation of motion is given below.

v = u + at

s = ut + (1/2)at²

v² = u² + 2as

A catapult can project a projectile at a speed as high as 37.0 m/s. (a) if air resistance can be ignored.

a = - 9.81 m/s²

u = 37 m/s

v = 0

s = h

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be given by the third equation.

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 37² - 2 × 9.81 × h

h = 37² / (2 × 9.81)

h = 69.78 meters

Then the maximum height of the catapult will be 69.78 meters.
