Answer:
Total distance = 700 m
Displacement = 500 m
Explanation:
Notice that Jed travelled a total of 3 x 100 m = 300 m in the North direction, and 300 m + 100 m = 400 m in the East direction. Therefore the total distance he travelled is: 300 + 400 = 700 m.
But the actual displacement is given by the Pythagorean theorem as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of legs 300 m and 400 m:
displacement =
The range of the projectile is 188 m
Explanation:
The motion of the arrow in this problem is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction
The path of a projectile is the combination of these two motions: see figure in attachment.
In order to find the horizontal range of the projectile, we just need to calculate the horizontal distance travelled.
We have:
t = 5.0 s (time of fligth of the projectile)
and the horizontal velocity is constant, and it is given by
where
is the initial velocity
is the angle of projection
Substituting,
And therefore, the range of the projectile is:
