Some enterprising physics students working on a catapult decide to have a water balloon fight in the school hallway. the ceiling

is of height 3.6 m, and the balloons are launched at a velocity of 11 m/s. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . at what angle must they be launched to just graze the ceiling?

Given:
v = 11 m/s, the launch speed
h = 3.6 m, the height of the ceiling

Assume g = 9.8 m/s², and neglect air resistance.
Let θ =  the launch angle, measured above the horizontal.
The initial vertical speed is
u = 11 sin θ m/s 

At the maximum height of 3.6 m, the vertical velocity is zero.
Therefore
(11 sinθ m/s)² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(3.6 m) = 0
121 sin² θ = 70.56
sin²θ = 0.5831
sin θ = 0.7636
θ = sin⁻¹ 0.7636 = 49.8° ≈ 50°

Answer: 50° above the horizontal

Describe the initial horizontal and vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile on Earth, as well as what happens to
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

To explain this, let's consider a tennis ball being launched from the top of a very high building.

Now, if the tennis ball is launched horizontally without any upward angle but with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. In this motion, If there is no gravity, the tennis ball would continue in motion at that same speed of 10 m/s in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, gravity causes the tennis ball to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s for every second. This implies that the vertical velocity component is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

Thus, after 1 second, horizontal velocity component will remain 10 m/s and vertical component will be 9.8 m/s × 1 = 9.8 m/s downwards.

Also, after 2 seconds, the vertical velocity component will remain 10 m/s, however the vertical component will now be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m/s downwards.

Same procedure is repeated as t increases by 1 second.
