consider the motion in x-direction
= initial velocity in x-direction = ?
X = horizontal distance traveled = 100 m
= acceleration along x-direction = 0 m/s²
t = time of travel = 4.60 sec
Using the equation
X = t + (0.5)
t²
100 = (4.60)
= 21.7 m/s
consider the motion along y-direction
= initial velocity in y-direction = ?
Y = vertical displacement = 0 m
= acceleration along x-direction = - 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel = 4.60 sec
Using the equation
Y = t + (0.5)
t²
0 = (4.60) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.60)²
= 22.54 m/s
initial velocity is given as
= sqrt((
)² + (
)²)
= sqrt((21.7)² + (22.54)²) = 31.3 m/s
direction: θ = tan⁻¹(22.54/21.7) = 46.12 deg
