Answer:

Initial velocity = 10 m/s

θ = 60°

This is the case of projectile motion

So the horizontal component of velocity 10 m/s = 10 cosθ

u = 10 cosθ

u = 10 cos 60°

u=5 m/s

x= 5 m

So in the horizontal direction

x = u .t

5 = 5 .t

t = 1 sec The vertical component of velocity 10 m/s = 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sin 60°

Vo = 8.66 m/s

$V^2=V_o^2+2gh$

$0=V_o^2-2gh$

$0=8.66^2-2\times 10\times h$

h=3.75 m

So height of robot = 3.75 - 0.75 m

height of robot =3 m

A baseball is hit that just goes over a wall that is 45.4m high. If the baseball is traveling at 46.2 m/s at an angle of 32.7° b

Answer:

54.9 m/s at 44.9 degrees

Explanation:

If the ball has a total velocity of 46.2 m/s, at an angle of -32.7 degrees, we can decompose its speed into its horizontal and vertical components.

Vx = V * cos(a) = 46.2 * cos(-32.7) = 38.9 m/s

Vy = V * sin(a) = 46.2 * sin(-32.7) = -25 m/s

SInce there is no force on the horizontal direction (omitting air drag), we can assume constant horizontal speed.

Since a ball thrown is at free fall, only affected by gravity (omitting air drag), we can say it is affected by constant acceleration, therefore we can use

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 *t + 1/2 * a * t^2

We consider t=0 as the moment when the ball was hit, so in this case Y0 = 1 m

If we take the first derivative of the equation of position, we get the equation for speed

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We know that being t2 the moment the ball goes over the wall

V(t2) = -25 m/s

Y(t2) = 45.4 m

So:

45.4 = 1 + Vy0 * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

-25 = Vy0 + a * t2

Then:

Vy0 = -25 - a * t2

So:

45.4 = 1 + (-25 - a * t2) * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 - 1/2 * a * t2^2

a = -9.81 m/s^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 + 4.9 * t2^2

Solving this quadratic equation we get:

t1 = -1.39 s

t2 = 6.5 s

Since we are looking for a positive value we disregard t1.

Now we can obtain Vy0:

Vy0 = -25 + 9.81 * 6.5 = 38.76 m/s

Since horizontal speed is constant Vx0 = 38.9 m/s

By Pythagoras theorem we obtain the value of the initial speed:

$V0 = \sqrt{Vx0^2 + Vy0^2} = \sqrt{38.9^2 + 38.76^2} = 54.9 m/s$

The angle is in the the first quadrant because both comonents ate positive, so: 0 < a < 90

a = atan(Vy0/Vx0) = 44.9 degrees

A ball is thrown toward a cliff of height h with a speed of 33 m/s and an angle of 60∘ above horizontal. It lands on the edge of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

(a). The height of the cliff is 41.67 m.

(b). The maximum height of the ball is 41.67 m

(c). The ball's impact speed is 16.52 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 33 m/s

Angle = 60°

Time = 3.0 sec

(a). We need to calculate the height of the cliff

Using equation of motion

$h=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h=(u\sin60)\times t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value into the formula

$h=33\times\sin60\times3.0-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(3.0)^2$

$h=41.6\ m$

(b). We need to calculate the maximum height of the ball

Using formula of height

$h_{max}=\dfrac{(u\sin\theta)^2}{2g}$

Put the value into the formula

$h=\dfrac{(33\sin60)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$h=41.67\ m$

(c). We need to calculate the vertical component of velocity of ball

Using equation of motion

$v=u-gt$

$v=u\sin\theta-gt$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=33\times\sin 60-9.8\times3.0$

$v_{y}=-0.82\ m/s$

We need to calculate the horizontal component of velocity of ball

Using formula of velocity

$v_{x}=u\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=33\times\cos60$

$v_{x}=16.5\ m/s$

We need to calculate the ball's impact speed

Using formula of velocity

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{(16.5)^2+(-0.82)^2}$

$v=16.52\ m/s$

Hence, (a). The height of the cliff is 41.67 m.

(b). The maximum height of the ball is 41.67 m

(c). The ball's impact speed is 16.52 m/s.
