Answer:
a) the magnitude of r is 184.62
b) the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
as illustrated in the image blow;
To find the the magnitude of r, we will use the Pythagoras theorem
r² = y² + x²
r = √( y² + x²)
we substitute
r = √((-113)² + (-146)²)
r = √(12769 + 21316 )
r = √(34085 )
r = 184.62
Therefore, the magnitude of r is 184.62
To find its direction, we need to find ∅
from SOH CAH TOA
tan = opposite / adjacent
tan∅ = -113 / -146
tan∅ = 0.77397
∅ = tan⁻¹( 0.77397 )
∅ = 37.74°
Therefore, the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis
Answer:
The required angle is (90-25)° = 65°
Explanation:
The given motion is an example of projectile motion.
Let 'v' be the initial velocity and '∅' be the angle of projection.
Let 't' be the time taken for complete motion.
Let 'g' be the acceleration due to gravity
Taking components of velocity in horizontal(x) and vertical(y) direction.
= v cos(∅)
= v sin(∅)
We know that for a projectile motion,
t =
Since there is no force acting on the golf ball in horizonal direction.
Total distance(d) covered in horizontal direction is -
d = ×t = vcos(∅)×
=
.
If the golf ball has to travel the same distance 'd' for same initital velocity v = 23m/s , then the above equation should have 2 solutions of initial angle 'α' and 'β' such that -
α +β = 90° as-
d = =
=
=
.
∴ For the initial angles 'α' or 'β' , total horizontal distance 'd' travelled remains the same.
∴ If α = 25° , then
β = 90-25 = 65°
∴ The required angle is 65°.
