Answer:50.39 m/s,
40.46 m
Explanation:
Given
launch angle
Range=240 m
We know that Range
u=50.39 m/s
(b)maximum height of projectile is given by
H=40.46 m
The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and
is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is
where
and h is the height at the top of the hill.
So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
and so
from which we find the height:
