Answer:

  • 4968.6 m from where it was fired
  • 221.33 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose of this problem, we assume ballistic motion over a stationary flat Earth under the influence of gravity, with no air resistance.

We can divide the motion into two components, one vertical and one horizontal. For muzzle speed s and launch angle θ, the horizontal speed is presumed constant at s·cos(θ). The initial vertical speed is then s·sin(θ) and the (x, y) coordinates as a function of time are ...

  (x, y) = (s·cos(θ)·t, -4.9t² +s·sin(θ)·t + h₀) . . . . . where h₀ is the initial height

To find the range, we can solve the equation y=0 for t, and use this value of t to find x.

Using the quadratic formula, we find t at the time of landing to be ...

  t = (-s·sin(θ) - √((s·sin(θ))²-4(-4.9)(h₀)))/(2(-4.9))

  t = (s/9.8)(sin(θ) +√(sin(θ)² +19.6h₀/s²))

For s = 220, θ = 45°, and h₀ = 30, the time of flight is ...

  t ≈ 31.939 seconds

Then the horizontal travel is

  x = 220·cos(45°)·31.939 ≈ 4968.6 . . . . meters

__

As it happens, the value under the radical in the above expression for time, when multiplied by s, is the vertical speed at landing. The horizontal speed remains s·cos(θ), so the resultant speed is the Pythagorean sum of these:

  landing speed = s·√(cos(θ)² +sin(θ)² +19.6h₀/s²) ≈ s√(1 +0.012149)

  ≈ 221.33 m/s

_____

Note that the landing speed represents the speed the projectile has as a consequence of the potential energy of its initial height being converted to kinetic energy that adds to the kinetic energy due to its initial muzzle velocity.

Which equation is solved for the variable h? v=by/3
max2010maxim [7]
The equation is given as: v=by/3 but it is actually <span>v=bh/3
</span><span>
Ans, now, we need to solve this for variable h.

So, </span>v=bh/3
On cross multiplying, we get,
3 × v = bh
On dividing the complete equation by "b" we get,
(3×v) / b = (bh)/b 

or  (3×v) / b = h

Thus, the value of h is : 3v/b

If a toy helicopter is moving at 12 m/s, how much energy does 3kg toy have?
kakasveta [241]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  216 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy is given by ...

  KE = 1/2mv^2

  KE = (1/2)(3 kg)(12 m/s)^2 = 216 kg·m²/s² = 216 J

The kinetic energy of the toy is 216 joules.

__

Its potential energy depends on its height.
