A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a

hillside 4.00 s later. Neglect air friction. (a) What is the projectile’s velocity at the highest point of its trajectory? (b) What is the straight-line distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hits its target?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 51.96m/s

(b) 207.84m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using one of the equations of motion as follows;

h = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²;

Where;

h = vertical/horizontal displacement of the body in motion;

u = initial velocity of the body in motion

t = time taken for the body to attain the displacement

a = acceleration of the body,

... the motion of the projectile can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components as follows;

(i) Vertical component

h_{y} = u_{y}t + \frac{1}{2} a_{y}t²;  ----------------(ii)

Where;

h_{y} = vertical displacement of the body in motion;

u_{y} = initial vertical velocity of the body in motion = usinθ [θ is the angle of projection of the body above the horizontal]

t = time taken for the body to attain the vertical displacement

a = acceleration of the body = g [acceleration on the vertical motion is due to gravity]

Substitute the value of u_{y} and a_{y} into equation (ii) as follows;

h_{y} = usinθt + \frac{1}{2} gt²;   ----------------------(iii)

(ii) Horizontal component

h_{x} = u_{x}t + \frac{1}{2} a_{x}t²;        -----------------(iv)

Where;

h_{x} = horizontal displacement of the body in motion;

u_{x} = initial horizontal velocity of the body in motion = ucosθ [θ is the angle of projection of the body above the horizontal]

t = time taken for the body to attain the horizontal displacement

a = acceleration of the body = 0 [acceleration on the vertical motion is zero due to constant velocity]

<em>Substitute the value of </em>u_{y}<em> and </em>a_{y}<em> into equation (iv) as follows;</em>

h_{x} = ucosθt + \frac{1}{2} (0)t²;

h_{x} = ucosθt;           ----------------------------(v)

(a) As a projectile goes up in the air, the velocity of its vertical component decreases. When the projectile attains its highest point of its trajectory, the vertical component of its velocity becomes zero. However, the horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile remains constant throughout the flight. Therefore, at the projectile's highest point in trajectory, its velocity (v) is given by only the horizontal component as follows;

v = u_{x} = ucosθ                ----------------(vi)

Where;

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 60.0m/s

θ is the angle of projection of the body above the horizontal = 30.0°

<em>Substitute these values into equation (vi) as follows;</em>

u_{x} = 60 x cos30.0°

u_{x} = 60 x 0.8660

u_{x} = 51.96 m/s

Therefore, the projectile’s velocity at the highest point of its trajectory is 51.96m/s

(b) The straight line distance (horizontal distance = h_{x}) from where the projectile was launched to where it hits its target is given by equation (v)

h_{x} = ucosθt  

=> h_{x} = u_{x}t      [since u_{x} =  u cos θ]                     --------------------(vii)

Where;

t = time taken for the motion = 4.00s

u_{x} = 51.96m/s  [as calculated above]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (vii) as follows;</em>

h_{x} = 51.96 x 4.00

h_{x} = 207.84m

Therefore, the straight-line distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hits its target is 207.84m

Answer:

51.96 m/s^-1

Explanation:

a) see the attachment

b) As we know the velocity of the projectile has two component, horizontal velocity v_ox. and vertical velocity v_oy as shown in the figure. At the highest point of the trajectory, the projectile has only horizontal velocity and vertical velocity is zero. Therefore at the highest point of the trajectory, the velocity of the projectile will be  

v_ox=v_o*cosФ

       =60*cos (30)

      = 51.96 m/s^-1

A professional baseball player can throw the ball around 45 m/s if the distance between the pitcher and the batter is 18.39 m. H
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the baseball, u = 45 m/s

horizontal distance between the pitcher and the batter, X = 18.39 m

The horizontal distance or range of a projectile is given as;

X = ut

where;

t is the time of flight

u is the initial velocity

t = X / u

t = 18.39 / 45

t = 0.41 s

Therefore, the time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The term mass is used to refer to the amount of matter in any given object For instance, a person or object may be weightless on the moon because of the lack of gravity but that same person or object maintains the same mass regardless of location

When applying an arm sling, the injured arm's hand should be placed in a ________ position in the sling, and above the level of
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is "thumb-up".

Explanation:

The sling often called the arm sling, is a solution for preventing either shoulder or elbow motion during healing. A triangle bandage could be constructed.

A sling is a strong tissue loop that descends from the head to hold the forearm. The armrests in the sling bent also at the elbow.

The injured hand of the forearm should be positioned inside the pin position in the joint above the level of the elbow when putting the forearm sling.

How many estimates are used in the calculation of depreciation?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Two estimates

Explanation:

There are mainly two estimates used in the calculation of depreciation such as the useful life and the salvage value of an asset. The salvage value is defined as the predicted amount that will be obtained by a company from an asset when it is disposed at the end of the useful life of the particular asset. On the other hand, the useful life commonly refers to the estimation of how long the asset is useful for the company. This is different from the lifespan of the asset.
