For this problem, we use the equations derived from the projectile motion. Particularly, we use the trajectory of the projectile equation written below:

y = xtanθ + gx/2v₀²cosθ
where
y is the vertical height
x is the horizontal distance
θ is the launch angle
g is 9.81 m/s²
v₀ is the initial velocity

Since it was thrown horizontally, θ = 0°. Substituting the values,

y = 17tan0° + (9.81)(17)/2(9.50)²cos0°
y = 0.924 m

If the acceleration of the projective is: a = c s m/s 2 Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind th
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

c = 4,444.44

Explanation:

You have the following expression for the acceleration of the projectile:

a=cs   (1)

s: distance to the ground of the projectile

To find the value of the constant c you use the following formula:

v^2=v_o^2+2a \Delta s   (2)

vo: initial  velocity = 0 m/s

v: final speed = 200 m/s

Δs: distance traveled by the projectile = 3m - 1.5m = 1.5m

You replace the expression (1) into the expression (2):

v^2=2(cs)\Delta s

You do the constant c in the last equation, then you replace the values of v, s and Δs:

c=\frac{v^2}{2s\Delta s}=\frac{(200m/s)^2}{2(3m/s^2)(1.5m)}=4444.44

How do objects and substances have kinetic energy??<br><br> I need help ASAP!!
9966 [12]

Objects and substances in motion have Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is the motion of objects, substances, molecules, atoms .

Whenever an object starts to move, it is in motion. Kinetic Energy is generated, when the object moves and its potential energy gets dropped with the movement. Kinetic Energy is found in every object that moves.

The Kinetic Energy of an object depends both on its mass and its speed. Kinetic Energy increases as mass and speed are increased.

Example:  By using the wind flow from wind turbines, the Kinetic energy in the wind can be transformed to generate electricity by using generators.
