Question

A missile is moving 1350 m/s at a 25° angle it needs to hit a target 23,500 m away in a 55° direction in 10.2 seconds what is the magnitude of its final velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

3504 m/s

Explanation:

Let x be the horizontal component of distance

y - vertical component of distance

t-time

ax- horizontal component of acceleration

ay-Vertical component of acceleration

Vx-horizontal component of velocity

Vy-Vertical component of velocity

horizontally: x = V_x ×t + ½×a_x×t²  

plugging the values we get

23500× cos 55º = 1350×cos25.0º × 10.20 + ½×a_x× (10.20)²  

⇒ax = 19.2 m/s²  

Moreover,

V'x = V_x + a_x×t = 1350×cos25.0º + 19.2×10.20= 1419 m/s  

similarly in vertical direction:

y = V_y×t + ½×a_y×t²  

23500×sin55º = 1350×sin25.0º×10.20s + ½×a_y×(10.20)²  

⇒a_y = 258 m/s²  

Also,

V'y = V_y + a_y×t = 1350×sin25.0º + 258×10.20 = 3204 m/s  

Therefore

V = √(V'x² + V'y²) = 3504 m/s  

therefore,  magnitude of final velocity of missile=3504 m/s
