Answer:

Maximum height, h = 1.74 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

A potato is shot out of the cylinder. It is a case of projectile motion. The potato makes an angle of 17 degrees above the horizontal.

Initial speed with which the potato is shot out, u = 20 m/s

We have to find the maximum height of the potato. The maximum height of a projectile (h) is given by the following formula as :

h=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

Where

\theta = angle between the projectile and the surface

g = acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{(20\ m/s)^2sin^2(17)}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 1.74 m

or h = 1.74 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b
daser333 [38]

Answer:

<h2>a) Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.</h2><h2>b) The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m</h2>

Explanation:

a)  Consider the vertical motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Displacement, s = 1.5 m      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      1.5 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 xt²

                      t = 0.553 s

      Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.

b) Consider the horizontal motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 200 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.553 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 200 x 0.553 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.553²

                      s = 110.6 m

      The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m
