Below is the solution:

 <span>R = v^2 sn(2θ) / g 
v = [R g / sin(2θ)]^1/2 
vx = v cosθ = cosθ [R g / sin(2θ)]^1/2 
θ = π/4 
then 
vx = cos(π/4) [R g / sin(π/2)]^1/2 = cos(π/4) (R g)^1/2 
vx = cos45*(0.82*9.8)^1/2
vx = 2 m/s</span>

Answer: 1.9 m/s


Explanation:


1) Data:

height, y = 0

range, x = 0.77m

angle, α = 45°

question, horizontal velocity, Vox = ?


2) Physical principles and formulas

Projectile motion.

y=V_{0y}t-gt^{2} /2\\ \\ x=V_{0x}t\\ \\ V_{0y}=V_0sin\alpha \\ \\ V_{0x}=V_0cos\alpha


3) Solution

0.77=V_0cos(45)t\\ t=0.77/(V_0cos(45))


y=0=V_0sin(45)t-gt^{2} /2


Factor


0=t[V_0sin(45)-gt/2]


Discard t = 0 and solve for the other factor:


gt/2=V_0sin(45)\\ \\  V_0= gt/(2sin(45))=9.81[0.77/V_{0}cos(45)]/[2sin(45)]\\ \\ V_0^2=9.81[0.77/(2cos(45)sin(45)=9.81[0.77/sin(90)]=7.55\\ \\ V_0}=\sqrt{7.55} =2.8


Find Vx:


Vx=V_{0x}=V_{0}cos(45)=2.75(\sqrt{2} /2]=1.9


Vx = 1.9m/s ← answer

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 \frac{m}{s}

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = \frac{0-8}{-9.8}

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s
